The Nigeria Critical Minerals Stakeholder and Policy Database is an interactive, web-based resource developed as part of APRI’s Roadmap for Nigeria’s Critical Minerals Strategy Project. It is designed to help policymakers, investors, researchers, civil society, and other stakeholders identify and engage the actors, institutions, and policy frameworks shaping Nigeria’s critical minerals sector. Built from a structured national dataset covering all 36 states and the FCT, the database enables users to explore stakeholder profiles, institutional mandates, and value-chain roles across government, industry, artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM), academia, civil society, donors, and the wider supply chain. A Nigeria map view enhances the directory by showing stakeholder locations with filters and search functions that update both the map and listings.
The database fills an important information gap in Nigeria’s minerals sector, where stakeholders, policy responsibilities, and institutional mandates are often fragmented across federal and state levels, making coordination and informed engagement more difficult. By bringing stakeholder data together with relevant policy, regulatory, and governance frameworks, it provides a single evidence base to support effective stakeholder engagement, stronger coordination, more coherent policy reform, and improved due diligence.
