Mr Olamilekan Adegbite, Minister of Mines and Steel Development (MMSD), says Nigeria will soon become gold jewelry making destination.

Adegbite made this know on Friday in Abuja while conducting graduation ceremony for 21 selected youths trained on jewelry making.

He said that the training they acquired would also serve as import substitution as Nigeria is a large consumer of jewelry products from the United Arab Emirates, India, China and Europe. “We discovered that our gold is leaving Nigeria shore on a daily basis in raw form to other countries and after the gold is converted to jewelry the price will become so high that common man cannot afford it.“We are currently building Gold Souk in Kano and Gemstone in Ibadan where our raw gold will be converted to jewelries and we can also export them.

Salaam said that the trainers were drawn from different countries such as: Begium, Germany, among others, adding that the trainees were certified upon completion of their training.
