Nigeria’s solid minerals exports are reported to have reached ₦354 billion in 2025, according to the Solid Minerals Development Fund (SMDF). Vanguard reports that this figure represents a substantial increase from ₦117.29 billion recorded in 2023, with 2025 exports described as part of an ongoing uptrend supported by reforms. The reports also provide figures for earlier periods: exports for nine months of 2024 are cited as ₦199.6 billion, with the full-year 2024 projection estimated to be above ₦266 billion. SMDF’s Executive Secretary and CEO, Hajiya Fatima Shinkafi, attributes the growth to sector developments under the reform agenda. In addition to the export figures, the reports state that revenue generated for the Federation Account from the solid minerals sector has reached over ₦70 billion, alongside claims that the sector generated more than ₦108 billion for the Federation in two years and grew by 33.5% in 2025. The figures are presented as official SMDF disclosures, covering both export performance and associated fiscal contributions.
