Problems in Lithium Mining Development in Nigeria
lǐ锂shì是yī zhǒng一种hěn很zhòng yào重要de的kuàng wù矿物 ，kě yǐ可以yòng lái用来zuò做diàn chí电池hé和diàn dòng chē电动车 。
Lithium is a very important mineral that can be used to make batteries and electric vehicles.
xiàn zài现在 ，hěn很duō多guó jiā国家dōu都xiǎng yào想要lǐ锂 。
Currently, many countries want lithium.
zhōng guó中国shì是shì jiè世界shàng上lǐ锂chǎn liàng产量dì第sān三de的guó jiā国家 。
China is the third largest lithium producer in the world.
zuì jìn最近 ，zhōng guó中国gōng sī公司zài在fēi zhōu非洲de的ní rì lì yà尼日利亚tóu zī投资le了hěn很duō多qián钱 ，bāng zhù帮助ní rì lì yà尼日利亚kāi cǎi开采hé和jiā gōng加工lǐ锂 。
Recently, Chinese companies have invested a lot of money in Nigeria, Africa, to help mine and process lithium.
zhè yàng这样 ，ní rì lì yà尼日利亚kě yǐ可以yǒu有gèng更duō多de的gōng zuò工作jī huì机会 ，yě也kě yǐ可以jiǎn shǎo减少duì对shí yóu石油de的yī lài依赖 。
This way, Nigeria can have more job opportunities and reduce its dependence on oil.
zhōng guó中国gōng sī公司hái还jì huà计划zài在ní rì lì yà尼日利亚jiàn建diàn dòng chē电动车gōng chǎng工厂 。
Chinese companies also plan to build electric vehicle factories in Nigeria.
ní rì lì yà尼日利亚zhèng fǔ政府guī dìng规定 ，lǐ锂bì xū必须zài在guó nèi国内jiā gōng加工hòu后cái néng才能chū kǒu出口 ，zhè yàng这样kě yǐ可以ràng让gèng更duō多běn dì rén本地人shòu yì受益 。
The Nigerian government requires that lithium must be processed domestically before export, so that more local people can benefit.
dàn shì但是 ，zài在yī xiē一些lǐ锂kuàng qū矿区 ，yǒu有hěn很duō多rén人zì jǐ自己wā kuàng挖矿 ，zhè zhǒng这种zuò fǎ做法bù不ān quán安全 ，yǒu shí有时hái还huì会yǒu有hái zi孩子cān jiā参加 。
However, in some lithium mining areas, many people mine by themselves, which is unsafe and sometimes involves children.
zhè yàng这样duì对huán jìng环境hé和rén men人们de的jiàn kāng健康dōu都yǒu有huài chù坏处 。
This harms both the environment and people's health.
hěn很duō多rén人xī wàng希望zhèng fǔ政府néng能jiā qiáng加强guǎn lǐ管理 ，ràng让lǐ锂kuàng矿kāi fā开发biàn dé变得gèng更ān quán安全 、gèng更huán bǎo环保 。
Many people hope the government can strengthen management to make lithium mining safer and more environmentally friendly.
