Gold in Niger: Turkey prepares its first extraction after six years of exploration

MTAIC will install mobile crushing and screening equipment designed by Turkish company MEKA. The production would mark Turkey’s first gold extraction abroad, in a country where the Samira Hill industrial mine was nationalized in 2025.

FG to Deploy Mobile CNG Stations for Rural Communities

Nigeria’s federal government is considering mobile compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling stations for rural communities, particularly farmers seeking to power irrigation pumps with CNG instead of costly diesel or petrol. Ismaeel Ahmed, head of the Presidential CNG Initiative and Electric Vehicles, cited Jigawa State, where more than two million farmers could benefit from affordable energy. He said mechanical pumps can irrigate about three hectares, compared with roughly one hectare for solar-powered pumps. Ahmed also pointed to gas supply problems and licensing delays; the CNG programme has recorded about 143,000 vehicle conversions and an estimated $2.6 billion in investment.
