CSEA visits Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC)

The CSEA team, led by the Executive Director, Dr. Chukwuka Onyekwena, alongside Drusilla David (Head of Communications), Dr. Chidozie Uzoma-Nwosu (Post-Doctoral Research Fellow), Dr. Isiaku Raifu (Research Associate), Anthony Okon (Research Fellow), and Gift Ejeh Ojima (Communications Officer), paid a courtesy visit to the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC) on March  11, 2026.
The primary objective was to introduce the Centre’s research capabilities and explore collaborative pathways that align CSEA’s evidence-based policy work with the Council’s mandate for industrial self-reliance. In recognition of  CSEA’s technical expertise, the Director General of RMRDC extended an invitation to the Centre to join the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the upcoming Africa Raw Material Summit, scheduled for June 9–11, 2026. The summit will present a high-level platform for CSEA to contribute to  continental discourse on mineral resource governance and industrial policy.
