Nigeria Mining Week confirms new date and venue for November in Abuja

ABUJA, Nigeria - Sept. 12, 2024 - PRLog -- Nigeria Mining Week conference and expo returns to Abuja for its ninth edition from 18 to 20 November 2024. This landmark gathering of mining pioneers, investors, regulators, suppliers and service providers in the region's burgeoning extractive industry will take place at the Abuja Continental Hotel in the Nigerian capital. The organisers of the event had to change the dates and the venue after the Abuja International Conference Center was closed unexpectedly due to renovations.

The event is organised by the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) in collaboration with PwC Nigeria and Vuka Group and is hosted by the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development.

"Everything is in place"
"The changes in dates and venue have been unfortunate and due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control," says Samukelo Madlabane, Event Director at event organisers VUKA Group. "However, we have worked tirelessly and done our utmost to find an excellent alternative venue with world-class amenities in the Nigerian capital and to keep the event dates as close to the original dates as possible to avoid too many changes in travel plans for speakers, exhibitors and delegates. Moreover, the new venue, the Abuja Continental Hotel, offers state-of-the-art conference facilities and will not affect the quality of the 2024 event. On the contrary, the new venue enhances the experience with its modern fixtures, aligning with the event's status as the premier mining event in Nigeria with Abuja fast becoming known as the country's mining hub."

Madlabane continues: "All that said, everything is in place for another compelling and groundbreaking event, and the team is looking forward to meeting up with our clients, industry allies and VIPs. We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and support shown by our longstanding partners."

Hearts and souls of Nigerian miners
Dele Ayanleke, President of the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) says the organisation is enthused by the confirmation of the new venue and dates: "MAN has been proud to see the development and growth of a real Nigerian mining family since the start of Nigeria Mining Week. The heart and soul of this event is not necessarily connected to the bricks and mortar of a venue, it is in the heart and soul of each and every passionate miner, developer, investor and service provider in Nigeria, men and women; each of whom wants to see their family, village, region, state and country prosper and develop through the fair and equitable exploitation of the extractive industry."
