$700bn US mineral deal: Tell Nigerians what we’re entering into – Arewa Forum to FG

The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has requested the Federal Government to inform Nigerians what the nation stands to realize from the $700 billion mineral cope with the United States.

The National Publicity Secretary of the discussion board, Professor Tukur Mohammed-Baba, made this name throughout an interview on Arise Television on Saturday.

Mohammed-Baba mentioned the federal government wanted to be clear concerning the particulars of the deal.

“The government needs to tell Nigerians what we are getting into with this deal,” he mentioned.

He added that Nigerians deserved to know the phrases, advantages, and implications of such an enormous mineral settlement.

According to him, a $700 billion deal was too massive to be shrouded in secrecy, particularly at a time when Nigerians have been going through financial hardship.

DAILY POST remembers that Nigeria signed a essential minerals framework with the United States on September 23, 2026 on the Nigeria House in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly.

Mohammed-Baba urged the Tinubu administration to make the complete particulars of the settlement public to keep away from suspicion and distrust.

He maintained that the Arewa Consultative Forum would proceed to talk up for transparency and accountability in governance.
