Nigeria Unveils Mineral Resources Info Portal

In a bid to boost the ease of doing business in the mining sector, the federal government has launched the Nigeria Mineral Resources Decision Support System (NMDSS).

During the unveiling of the NMDSS Tuesday in Abuja, the minister of solid minerals development, Dr Dele Alake, explained that the portal demonstrated the federal government's commitment to providing prospective investors with necessary information about Nigeria's mineral resources, policies guiding the mining sector and incentives for investment from anywhere in the world.

LEADERSHIP reports that Nigeria Mineral Resources DSS is a marketing strategy to enhance the ease of doing business in the solid minerals sector.

The minister said: "Before now, if you are a prospective foreign investor, you have to travel to Nigeria with your contingent to access required information. But with this launch today, anywhere you are in the world, with a click of a button, you can access all the information you require to make informed investment decisions about the mining sector."
