The letter states that the event which would be chaired by Chi Onwurah MP, Vice Chair of the APPG, “would bring together British parliamentarians, Diaspora stakeholders, policy-makers, business representatives, diplomats, civil society representatives, media, academics and other experts in the sector.

“It would be a great pleasure to welcome you to the Houses of Parliament to share your views on politics to transform Nigeria’s solid minerals sector, the value of the sector for Nigeria as the country seeks to diversify away from oil, and on opportunities for investment.
“The APPG on Nigeria is an independent and impartial cross-party group of British parliamentarians, which seeks to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the UK and Nigeria, raise the profile of Nigeria in the British parliament and support development and democracy,” the letter added.
