Operators In The Mining Sector Owe FG Over ₦‎2 Trillion - Dele Alake by Lanrelagboi: 5:23am On Feb 02
The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, has said that miners and operators in the sector owed the Federal Government more than N2 trillion.

This is as the minister stressed that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu is determined to halt the activities of illegal miners across the country.

Alake described the activities of illegal miners as a huge crime against Nigeria and Nigerians, which he said, was unacceptable.

The minister stated this during a meeting with Licensed Minerals Holders, Laterite /Sand Operators Dealers in Kaduna State, on Thursday.

He said, “Miners and Operators owed the federal government more than N2trn” while “in Kaduna State, it’s over N300bn.”

“We have made it very clear that in Kaduna State, every operator should make bold steps and clear their debt,” the minister, represented by the Acting Zonal Mines Officer, North-West Zonal Office, Kutman Hosea Ali, said.

Meanwhile, the minister has directed the Special Mines Taskforce activated in Kaduna State to clamp down on illegal miners and nonpayment of royalties which must be paid monthly as well as other taxes to the apex government.

Find a way to re-coup the money rather than going public with no political will to make them pay up.

Their share (cut) never reach them, that's the only reason for the outcry.

As soon as their cut reaches them, this news will immediately be debunked as fake news.

Heheheheh

Governors have illegally sold most of these mining sites to d Chinese. If d minister dig further, he's going to be at loggerhead with some former and present governor.

Even in his home state Ekiti as an example gboyin LG , irepodun ifelodun LG,Moba etc, infact in his home town gan and d ones close to his town......... Not to talk about Zamfara, Niger etc

How is this information useful to the ordinary man on the street? Is he now asking us to go after the debtors or what.
Unserious government officials together with an unserious head.

This "mouth" thinks it is by talking, blabbing, yanning, "lamba"ing..
He looks like someone that stands in front of his mirror in his bathroom and talks, admiring his voice.
Anyway, they should not bore us with propaganda, if mining companies owe 100 gazillion, collect it from them, abi why is he telling us? undecided

Why do I have a strange guy feeling that what most Yoruba ministers in this government know how to do is to speak baseless and inconsequential grammatical English all over the country? See Cardoso, EFCC, now this Dele of a man ..

Is the money for private individual or for the public?
And you will be the one crying for transparency on governance. [b][/b]

Well, it is not Nigeria or Nigerians they owe, so nothing concern us.

That is the feeling they want us to have about them cos if and by the time the debtors pay up, we won't get to know how it was used and won't even feel any positive impact if at all FG says they used it on something
