Day 3 at Indaba was enlightening! Attended a thought-provoking conference session on academic improvements needed in African universities to support technological and sustainable leapfrogging in Africa. One key takeaway: To excel as a mining engineer, emphasis on soft skills is crucial. Moreover, making the mining industry attractive through entrepreneurship initiatives akin to the IT domain can help attract talent. Experience is also paramount for new graduates, underscoring the need for expanded mining engineering programs.

The small manageable problem I observed within the local community where our physical class is held (i.e. Keffi, Nasarawa State) is the absence of a facility to project digitally for 3MTT Nigeria participants. This is a problem because it affects the practicality of the physical class where fellows can follow directly as the instructor proceed with the class of the week. My track's key concept is on gathering, cleaning, analyzing, mining, interpreting and presenting data to bring about insights, solutions and conclusions to stated problems. As such, in order to attain a feasible solution to the earlier identified problem, it is paramount to collect data from active fellows, mine, analyze, interpret and compile the result, thereafter, proceed to the relevant authority in charge of the venue where the physical class takes place and present the findings to them for lasting and effective solutions. #3MTT #My3MTT #3mttweeklyreflection #3mttnigeria

As the Indaba Mining conference comes to an end, I am looking forward to learning highlights from some of the attendees, especially on how corporations plan to achieve inclusive sustainable growth in Africa's highly diverse continent in 2024. With Africa's population set to double in the next three decades, why is the funding gap still a hot debate? Are investors still overrating risk factors, reducing the attractiveness for the much-needed key energy, infrastructure and mobility projects? Or is it due to the reallocation of resources to areas like AI and Climate Change in other geographies? Is the shortage of competitive local ecosystems also a factor? Revenues from natural resources can only be reinvested profitably in-country if the local economy is competitive. But once this is achieved in multiple sectors, the funds stay in country, stimulate the economy and attract further international investors. Natural resource exporters should not face the continuous prospect of boom-and-bust cycles. Thankfully, large international projects and the chase for critical minerals can help market economies to investors, reduce perceived country risk and encourage the development of more diverse competitive ecosystems. This collaboration can be a huge win-win. Let's hope that 2024 will bring innovative partnerships between African States and their Investors. Mega-projects already report Net Country Impact, and we can learn from some examples of successes in Energy and Mining. Which are your preferred ones?

Research & Innovation Officer @ Zimbabwe School of Mines | Mining Governance | Mining Law | Public Policy | Artisanal and Small Scale Mining
I am thrilled to share that our esteemed institution Zimbabwe School of Mines is represented at the prestigious African Mining Indaba. The African Mining Indaba #AMI24, held annually, is a remarkable gathering that brings together mining industry leaders, investors, policymakers, and stakeholders from across the globe. This year's theme, "Embracing the power of positive disruption: A bold new future for African mining” resonated deeply with us. At the heart of this theme lies a crucial aspect: the undeniable dependence of the mining industry on the training and expertise of hands-on mining technicians. Mining is not just about extracting valuable resources from beneath the Earth's surface; it's about doing so sustainably, responsibly, and with utmost efficiency. The role of skilled technicians in achieving these goals cannot be overstated. They are the backbone of the mining industry, ensuring safe operations, maximizing productivity, and minimizing environmental impact. The Zimbabwe School of Mines takes immense pride in nurturing and equipping our students with practical knowledge and skills required for success in the mining sector. Through rigorous training programs and cutting-edge facilities, we empower our students to become industry-ready professionals capable of tackling real-world challenges head-on. Our representation at the African Mining Indaba is an opportunity to showcase the exceptional talent and expertise that our graduates possess. Engage with industry players to channel a future of just and inclusive participation driven by reskilling and upskilling existing human capital and new entrants. It is a testament to Zimbabwe School of Mines ability to contribute significantly to Africa's mining landscape through positive disruptive training and education. We firmly believe that investing in training hands-on mining technicians is not just an investment in individuals but also in the sustainable growth and development of the African's mining industry as a whole. Together, we can shape a future where mining thrives through the dedication and proficiency of our skilled technicians. If you're passionate about the mining industry, let's connect and continue this inspiring conversation!

Been Meaning to post on Day 2 of the Future Minerals Forum - Part I! This was by far I would say the better day of #FMF for quite a few reasons, the main one being that I got to do a lot more #networking on this day than the 1st day but more on that in my Part II. I attended 2 more important OIC country sessions namely #Uganda and #SaudiArabia, which I think was also one of the key reasons why Day 2 was better - my God the level of incentives they are providing mining companies is unheard of in the history of mining! Not to get ahead of myself but first Uganda. 🇺🇬 Uganda - the session was led by a team of the Ugandan delegation consisting of including the Commissioner of Mines Department Hon. Peter Lokeris and Assistant Commissioner Vincent Kedi who did an excellent presentation about revamping Uganda's mineral sector. We spoke in the Q&A about the importance of developing the mining talent and he welcomed the support to help assist in developing a program for semi-skills around vocational mining to upgrade the human resources in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. Afterwards I had a detailed discussion with the delegation who invited me to the the 13th Mineral Wealth Conference happening in October this year, looking forward to that and seeing how OIC can assist in this regards. 🇸🇦 - The Saudi Arabian session was a the crown jewel of all OIC country presentations. FMF 2023 had declared KSA to have +1.3~ trillion dollars natural endownment in minerals along the "Arabian Shield" - this year at FMF 2024 they have had so much progress in discovery that now that estimation is +2.5~ trillion dollars! I can imagine that with only about 1/3 discovered the other 2/3 of this Arabian Shield will have much more to offer once explored. The level of investment incentives given by Saudi Arabia in mining were unheard of before - truly. I will just share the video clip of the amazing presentation done by Ahmed Alaqeel that explains it all! This was another great thing to witness - young Saudis stepping up and taking leadership and owning the journey of their nation! 20 years ago you would not see this - it was foreign experts mainly, but now a lot of young Saudi talent was on display and I was sincerely happy for the Kingdom because they will be the inheritors of this nation and are an educated development-oriented class. Truly this is the real #Vision2030 coming to life.
