FG SEEKS ELAN INTERVENTION TO DEVELOP THE MINING SECTOR
The Federal Government has recently contacted Equipment Leasing Association of Nigeria (ELAN), to partner with it on the implementation of Nigeria’s national economic strategic plan – the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP). Part of this plan is the focus lab, which will be held in three focus areas: Manufacturing/ Processing, Agriculture/Transportation, and Power/Gas.
The focus Labs in Manufacturing and Processing will provide a convening opportunity for the private sector to present on projects (Entry Point Projects) that will fast track and facilitate investments into the sector, to facilitate enhanced contribution to the GDP; create employment and growth of MSMES, if given identified enablers by the Government.
In this regard, ELAN members with high capacity, will be required to supply the capital equipment needs of the Mining sector as a whole.
Equally, the Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN), is trying to engage ELAN to provide equipment for Artisans in the sector.
