The Miners Association of Nigeria, MAN, and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, CITN, have endorsed the Nigeria Mining Tax Summit scheduled to hold in Abuja from November 11 to 13, 2026.
The summit, organized by The Miners magazine, Secom Limited and Lambard Consulting, will bring together regulators, mining companies, investors, tax professionals and other stakeholders to examine Nigeria’s evolving fiscal and tax framework and its implications for mining operations, investment and government revenue.
In a letter dated September 16, 2026, and signed by its National President, Dele Ayanleke, MAN formally accepted the invitation to participate in the summit and pledged its support for the event.
The association described the initiative as timely, saying greater attention to fiscal issues in the mining sector was essential to sustainable economic growth.
“Your initiative to bring critical fiscal conversations to the forefront of the mining sector is both timely and essential for driving sustainable economic growth,” Ayanleke stated.
MAN also pledged to contribute its expertise to the summit, participate in key panel discussions and engage with other industry stakeholders to advance the objectives of the event.
The association said it would work with the organizers to ensure the summit produced meaningful outcomes for the mining industry, while requesting regular updates on the agenda and logistical arrangements.
