+(NGA-2021a):
+  The artisanal and small-scale mining sector provides an essential livelihood to thousands of people across Nigeria. ASM activity is widespread across the country to varying extents. Currently, there does not exist a reliable source for information on the total number of individuals involved in the ASM sector in Nigeria. Historical resources exist that estimate the sector directly employs around 400,000 (AMDC 2017; Oramah et al. 2015) to 500,000 people (Azubike 2009; Government of Nigeria 2009; Pulse 2019). An oft-cited statement by the then Minister of State, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa Bwari, in 2018 stated that more than two million people in Nigeria directly or indirectly depend on ASM for their livelihood.
+  Women’s participation in the sector is varied, but generally more marginalized than men as they face discrimination and lack of access to capital and often occupy less capital-intensive parts of mine operations (transportation, processing, provision of food and goods).
