The company has been confirmed as a key sponsor for the event, reflecting its unwavering dedication to responsible mining practices and sustainability across Africa’s mineral value chain.
The organisers of GGCE 2025 said Segilola’s sponsorship highlights its broader strategic vision to support ethical sourcing and sustainable development in Nigeria and beyond.
Speaking on behalf of the GGCE team, Janet Adeyemi, President of Women in Mining Nigeria, noted,
“We are honoured to welcome Segilola on board as a sponsor of GGCE 2025. Their support reinforces our mission to drive inclusive growth, gender equity, and high standards in Africa’s gold and gemstone sectors.”
Segilola Resources champions ethical sourcing not just through its participation but through policies that align with global best practices in resource management and community engagement.
Austin Manegbo, Country Manager of Segilola Resources, reiterated the company’s values, stating,
“Our participation in GGCE 2025 reflects Segilola’s commitment to sustainable development across Nigeria’s natural resource industries. We look forward to engaging with stakeholders shaping the future of ethical mining and gem trade.”
GGCE 2025 will spotlight key industry areas, including artisanal mining, SME participation in jewellery, export market preparedness, and value chain integration.
Organisers confirmed the event aims to serve both grassroots miners and large-scale operators by promoting inclusive policies and investor participation.

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to rehabilitating and repositioning Nigeria’s dormant national refineries, declaring that the facilities will not be allowed to become stranded assets.
Tinubu was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Patience Oyekunle, at the 20th OTL Africa Downstream Energy Week in Lagos on Monday.
The President said the government is adopting a more rigorous and commercially sustainable approach to the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries.
“At the same time, the government remains committed to ensuring that existing national refining assets are not allowed to become stranded investments,” the statement said.
“We are pursuing a more rigorous, commercially sustainable approach to the rehabilitation and repositioning of our refineries, supported by technical assessment, stronger partnerships, and improved operational discipline.”
The objective, according to the administration, is for Nigeria to refine more of its crude oil, create greater domestic value and become a reliable supplier of energy to Africa.
The national refineries, managed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), have remained largely inactive for years despite significant spending on turnaround maintenance. The NNPC has signed a memorandum of understanding with Chinese firms as part of ongoing efforts to revive the facilities.
Tinubu also noted the contribution of private refining capacity, particularly the Dangote Refinery, which has reached its 650,000 barrels-per-day nameplate capacity, in strengthening Nigeria’s prospects of becoming a net exporter of refined petroleum products.
