<p><em><strong>The 2019 Nigeria Mining Week holds in Abuja between October 14 and 16.</strong> </em></p>



<p><em><strong>Alhaji Kabir Mohammed Kankara, President of the Miners Association of Nigeria, MAN, who is expected to deliver the welcome address, in this exclusive interview, culled from Nigerian Mining Week website, talks about what to expect at the conference including his commitment to ensuring that players in the Nigeria mining industry are able to access the desired growth incentives in a manner that the sector would, sooner than expected, ranks one of the biggest government’s sources of revenue. The conference which is expected to draw participants across continents has PwC and Spintelligent as major stakeholders</strong></em></p>



<p><strong>What is your focus as the new President of MAN?</strong><br>
As the President of MAN, my vision for the
association is to see that miners are given an enabling conducive environment
to practice their legitimate business without any security challenges and
harassment from the host communities or the host state governments by
partnering with the government security agencies e.g. police, Civil Defence
Corps, state governments and community leaders. ;<br>
<br>
I also wish to improve the productivity capacity
of an average miner through sourcing of intervention funds and equipment from
federal and also encourage state governments, World Bank, NEXIM Bank, BOI and
other foreign and local investors to come on board and move mining to the next
level.<br>
<br>
I also wish to raise the level of the mining
sector to make it another big source of revenue earning for the nation and
increase the GDP of Nigeria. I also wish to make our association as another big
employment generator to the teeming youths that are roaming about looking for
jobs. ;<br>
<br>
<strong>What are the expectations at this year’s Nigeria
Mining Week?</strong><br>
Our expectations  ;for Nigeria Mining Week 2019 are that we hope
to make this year’s session a big forum where the Nigerian miners can showcase
the huge resources of solid minerals endowed to the nation and also bring
together both national, African and international investors to appreciate the
richness of our solid minerals and help Nigeria take the mining sector to the
next level by investing heavily in the sector. I hope to make this year’s
Nigeria Mining Week 2019 to be the most successful week ever held. May God help
us.</p>
