Commitment to mining community

We are also enthusiastic about our venue, the Abuja Continental Hotel; which proved to be a brilliant choice last year; it was spot on and they really rose to the occasion.
“We have always been privileged to have the official endorsement and support of the Nigerian mining authorities, but with such trust comes great responsibility, and we have never taken this for granted. Our commitment to the mining community is a long-standing one, and we take it very seriously.
