ANSEC Approves N160 Million for Solid Minerals Development
In addition to youth empowerment initiatives, ANSEC has also approved N160 million for the acquisition of five mining assets, further solidifying Anambra’s involvement in the solid minerals development sector. These assets, obtained by the Anambra State Solid Minerals Development Company, include:
- Pharmaceutical Grade Kaolin Asset
- Gravel Pack Asset
- Glass Sand Asset
- Sand Quarry
- Ceramic Kaolin Asset
According to the Council, this acquisition will expand the state’s economic footprint in the mining sector, boosting local industries and creating new opportunities for investment and job creation.
As the Soludo-led administration continues to prioritize youth development and economic diversification, initiatives like ‘1 Youth, 2 Skills’ and the expansion of solid mineral investments are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of Anambra State.
