It said that the invitation would bring together British Parliamentarians, Diaspora Stakeholders, policy-makers, business representatives, diplomats, civil society representatives, media, academics and other experts in the sector.

“The minister will share his views to transform Nigeria’s solid minerals sector, the value of the sector for Nigeria as the country seeks to diversify from oil and the opportunities for investment.

It also aims at raising the profile of Nigeria in the British Parliament and support development and democracy.
