About LECCIMA

Bridging local businesses and government in Northern Nigeria — championing agriculture, mining, and commerce across Kaduna State's 11 million residents.

Who We Are

Empowering Northern Nigeria's Business Community

The Lere Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mining & Agriculture (LECCIMA) champions Northern Nigeria's vast economic potential across Kaduna State and beyond. With 11 million residents (84% under age 40), the region represents a dynamic workforce and growing consumer market.

We bridge local businesses and government — connecting smallholder farmers growing maize, millet, and ginger; artisanal miners extracting gold and lithium; and SME entrepreneurs seeking market access, training, and policy advocacy across Nigeria.
