If you work in or around Nigeria’s mining sector, this October is the moment to be in Abuja. Nigeria Mining Week 2026 returns to the Abuja Continental Hotel from 12–14 October under the theme “Unlocking Investment and Growth through Partnerships”, and the full programme is now available.
Start on the exhibition floor, for free
Entry to the exhibition on 13 and 14 October is free. It is the quickest way to see what is shaping the sector, from processing and refining technology, exploration equipment and power solutions to logistics, digital mining tools and financial services, with expanded critical minerals, refining and international pavilions this year. Access is restricted but allows you to walk the exhibition floor and attend technical workshops.
Attend as a free visitor

For suppliers, contractors and service providers, it is two days of face-to-face conversations with potential clients and partners, all under one roof.
Then step into the conference
The exhibition shows you where the sector is today. The conference is where you hear how it will be funded, regulated and built, and where the conversations that lead to partnerships take place.
A delegate pass opens up the parts of Nigeria Mining Week that the exhibition floor does not.
Hear directly from decision-makers. Speakers include Dr. Aisha Rimi, Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council; Prof. Olusegun Ige, Director-General of the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency; Mrs. Nonye Ayeni, Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council; Dr. Cameron Perks of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence; and the chief executives of the Botswana and Ghana Chambers of Mines.
Leave with answers you can act on. Sessions tackle what financiers need to see before they commit, what international buyers expect on traceability and quality, and what it takes to move a project from exploration to production.
Go deeper on your commodity. The new Critical Minerals Forum on 13 October and the Gold and Steel Forums on 14 October give specialist audiences sessions built around their own markets.
Put your project in front of capital. Eligible projects and investors can apply to take part in the KMDC Deal Room, a curated space for one-on-one meetings with financiers, off-takers and strategic partners.
Solve problems in a smaller room. The pre-conference roundtables on 12 October, facilitated by PwC Nigeria, work through data, financing, compliance and power challenges and finish with agreed outcomes.
Learn from companies doing the work. Technical workshops are led by operators and suppliers including Segilola Resources, Titan Minerals, LiuGong, Mikano Motors and Solar Nigachem.
Build a network with purpose. Lunches, coffee breaks and networking sessions run across all three days, alongside the Women in Extractive Industries Forum on 12 October.
Whether you are registering for the first time or already planning to visit the exhibition, you can secure your delegate place here.

More Nigerian businesses to meet
The Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) and the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) have signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement ahead of the event. NACCIMA will bring members from its national chamber network to Nigeria Mining Week and host a dedicated NACCIMA Pavilion, widening the pool of Nigerian enterprises attendees can meet and partner with.
“Our partnership with NACCIMA creates an important bridge to Nigerian enterprises across the mining value chain,” said ’Dele Ayanleke, National President, Miners Association of Nigeria.
