The Deputy Minister of Mines, Godard Motemona, met, on Monday June 13, 2022, with the delegation of the company “Natural resource governance institute” (NRGI), on questions related to the energy transition as well as the production electric batteries in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The Manager of NRGI and head of the delegation, Mr. Hervé Lado, informed Vice-Minister Godard Motemona that his company contributes to improving the governance of countries based on their natural resources, in particular oil, gas and minerals, with the aim of promoting sustainable and inclusive development.
“ The DRC has strong potential in terms of natural resources due to the fact that the country has repeatedly called on investors to develop its mining sector with a view to producing more cobalt, and especially its transformation on site, in order to ‘increase revenues but also contribute to the energy transition on a global scale, we are ready ‘, added the Manager of NRGI.
According to him, his company received the discharge to organize a forum on June 21, 2022 in Kinshasa with a view to bringing together all the stakeholders operating in the mining sector.
His company, he said, should then join civil society in order to equip it by providing it with information related to the ambitions of the Government, those of the transformation of cobalt, lithium and other minerals.
