Organisers of the Nigeria Mining Tax Summit (NMTS) have announced a new date for the maiden edition of the event.
Originally scheduled to hold from November 11 to 13, 2026, in Abuja, the Summit will now take place between 15th and 17th of February 2027.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the organisers explained that the postponement is intended to ensure that all strategic partners and key Stakeholders are fully on board.
“The decision to shift the Summit to February 2027 is geared towards getting all our strategic partners on board so that we can deliver a truly inclusive and high-impact gathering,” the statement said.
The Nigeria Mining Tax Summit is being organised by Miners Communications Limited, publishers of The Miners Magazine and The Miners Online, in partnership with Secom Limited and Lambard Consulting.
It is designed to bring together government regulators, Mining operators, Tax professionals, investors and other stakeholders to examine Nigeria’s evolving Solid Minerals taxation framework and its implications for investment, revenue generation and sustainable growth in the sector.
The Summit has already received significant endorsements. The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, has formally endorsed the event, describing it as a timely platform to educate industry players on the new solid minerals taxation regime and the procedures for the collection of Taxes, levies and charges. The Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN), under the leadership of its National President, Dele Ayanleke, has also endorsed the Summit and pledged full participation. Similarly, the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) has confirmed its support and nominated resource persons.
“Discussions are ongoing with other public and private sector stakeholders to broaden participation and deepen the quality of engagement at the rescheduled Summit,” Mr Abidoye Abiosun, the Chairman, Organising Committee of the Nigeria Mining Tax Summit said.
The Organisers expressed appreciation for the continued support of industry stakeholders and assured participants that the February 2027 edition will be worth the wait.
