The Miners Association of Nigeria has called on the Nigerian Government to check the activities of Chinese miners “scavenging” for Lithium.

This was disclosed by Mr Dele Ayanleke, the National Secretary of the association in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

Lithium is a mineral used in making batteries and has witnessed a price rally over the last few years due to rising electronic vehicle demand which needs lithium to make its most expensive parts- the car batteries.
