Nigeria’s Maiden Ceramic Investment Summit: Impact On The Real Sector

Nigeria’s ceramic industry, a key driver of infrastructure development, has long faced challenges despite the country’s position as Africa’s largest economy. High energy costs, supply chain gaps, and reliance on imported additives have constrained the sector’s growth, leaving massive market potential largely untapped.

That is set to change in June, when Lagos hosts the maiden Nigeria Ceramic Investment Summit. Themed “Where Investment, Industry, Policy, and Talent Converge,” the summit aims to transform Nigeria into Africa’s ceramic manufacturing hub by promoting local beneficiation of raw materials like kaolin, feldspar, and quartz from states including Ekiti, Ogun, and Niger, while driving deals, policy discussions, and investment to boost the nation’s GDP.
