ABOUT GGCE The Gold & Gemstone Conference & Exhibition (GGCE): A Showcase Of Nigerian Excellence

Our mission is to empower women in the mining sector, showcasing their achievements, fostering connections, and driving innovation in the industry.

At the heart of the conference is a commitment to supporting and elevating the role of women in mining as envisioned in the African Mining Vision ,a high policy document implemented by African Minerals Development Center in partnership with Association of Women in Mining Africa (AWIMA). We bring together industry leaders, artisans, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts from around the world to exchange knowledge, explore new opportunities, and celebrate the contributions of women to the mining and jewelry-making industries
