CAPE TOWN, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Nigeria expects its mining
sector to account for 3% of GDP over the next five year from
just 0.3% as the government seeks to diversify the economy away
from oil, the minister for mines and steel development said on
Wednesday.
Olamilekan Adegbite said he expects "exponential growth" in
the mining sector and that gold, lead, zinc, limestone and coal
were among seven strategic minerals identified for investment.
