Alake, during the event, praised President Tinubu for supporting reforms in the solid minerals sector, assuring that the National Gold Purchase Program (NGPP) would enhance the country’s reserves and boost the naira’s value.
Alake explained to President Tinubu that this event marked the first commercial transaction under the NGPP, a centralised offtake scheme supported by a decentralised network of artisanal and small-scale miners and cooperatives.
