BLAISECAMPAORE:


Your question isn't clear.

This simply means all states (not individuals) involved in mining a particular solid mineral (eg Gold), are entitled to 13% of federal government revenue proceeds from that commodity.

isthatso:


I am not asking a question, I am stating the reality of our collective delusions.


What I am saying is, before you can mine on a level that makes a difference, the state govt has to give you land as all land belongs to states and no state govt will give you it's land only to receive 13% and that is why no meaningful industrial mining ever happens or will ever happen except for small scale illegal mining or low hanging fruits like limestone for cement.

AmazingELixir:



Clueless government they should be talking about resource control and not some stupid 13% derivation.

hmohammed:


I respect you guys and your stupid conspiracy theories without fact. One idiot will just sit in is home and cook all manners of useless stories just to suit his believe.

BLAISECAMPAORE:


Wrong. The state does not give you land.

You obtain a license for your desired mining area from the FG instead.

simpleseyi:
Good, same as done for Oil

Skynet45:
Each state should have control of 100% of the minerals generated there including oil. We need to practice true federalism and chase away this northern leeches . If you notice most of the northern mines are illegal mines set up by the state government so the northerners have full control of their resources, while they stick to the south like a parasite.

This the best option for nigeria

Guyman02:
The North already owns 100% of the proceeds from mining, this is just a camouflage to make it look as if FG is now generating huge sums from mining in the North.

Control of mining sites is one of the key sources of the ongoing conflicts in the North and has little to do with religion as bandits are driving away communities for mining activities.
The traditional rulers and local politicians are fully involved and nothing will change soon as FG focus will remain on oil from Niger Delta and taxes from Lagos

horsepower102:
This is old news and already happened under GEJ's administration. Why do they keep re-announcing it? Just to sound like they are doing something.

maasoap:


What does resources control mean to you exactly? May be you the control of the resources will be in the hand of Grace and Gideon who happened to come from the community where the resource is located. It means the resources in the hands of useless and thieving governors, and does that benefit you if I may ask?

Hmmm. Akwa Ibom!! I just might relocate there. This is awesome news to them.

Add this to derivation from oil and that state could easily potentially topple Lagos off the income ladder.

tunjijones:


This one go hard ooo. For ibom to topple lag.

flyingpig:
Bauchi is the state in contention here, not Akwa Ibom. I'm not too informed about minerals in Akwa Ibom. Basically off shore oil only.

Akwa I am is d next commercial and industrial big state in Nigeria that will compete with Lagos soon. We have an international airport, an international stadium, an ongoing deep sea port able to service the several countries in the bight of guinea, several tarred federal road networks, a developing science park as a future technology hub, and several govt manufactories. The idea there is in 5-10yrs time wen most of these big projects are fully realized like the deep sea port, then many people will wish the own a spot of either residency or commercial value in uyo especially along oron rd. I have a land for sale along this strategic road in case u're interested. it's 1000sqm and 450sqm.

Igbochief001:

Story when will Nigerian states stop deserving your self ...if u are comparatively advantages in a minerals ...u no go beg companies to come

NkanAkpanika:

So you just sit in your village eating egusi soup then multinational companies will suddenly land on your door..
Haba talk sensefully na cos you big past waiting you the talk now..
Me and you know say Nigeria is not really an attractive country for investors

lexy2014:


What is d benefit of toppling Lagos off d income ladder? Is there an award for it?

Igbochief001:

Because we don't have comparative advantage oga

If large concentration of gold dey sambisa ...companies go still go there

NkanAkpanika:

Honestly we do but our name is soil already in the international space...
Do you know what it took Udom Emmanuel to attract investment that is currently booming in the state?
It took him been a former investment banker to attract them not being a governor

NkanAkpanika:

Strong economy is the benefits tho we are not in any competition with any body
