Mineral Exploitation
Resource Depletion
CSO Advocacy
Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have accused powerful elites of exploiting and depleting Nigeria’s mineral resources for personal gain, leaving communities and the nation with little benefit. They allege that unchecked extraction is causing environmental degradation, economic losses, and social injustices.
The groups are calling for stronger regulatory enforcement, increased transparency, and policies that ensure Nigeria’s mineral wealth benefits its citizens. They also emphasize the need for community participation in resource management to prevent further exploitation.
With concerns growing over unsustainable mining practices, CSOs urge the government to take decisive action to protect the country’s natural resources and promote equitable distribution of benefits.
