I am in shock!!!! Why is this man so stupid ? Instead of signing an executive order to ensure that miners are limited to so and so activities and must invest back in their community.

This man is just the worst president ever after Buhari!!!!

What a buffoon!!!

SmartyPants:


Which part of that statement suggests this? You need to be more creative. You are losing steam.

Are you joking right now ? Is this how the president of a nation is meant to regulate foreign affairs?

Just tell them casually not to leave it in ruins instead of signing an executive order to regulate and ensure these miners reinvest in the communities?

Are you a graduate?

I don't trust Chinese mining companies, they can mess up the environment and perpetrate many crimes in that community and still go scotfree, and they only do this in Africa but keep to laws in western and Arab countries.

There should be an order signed towards environmental protection and time-to-time local corporate responsibility, others Nigeria is joking with mere weightless statement. They've collected their money, it's for the environment and the local community to suffer.

Lithium investors or lithium scavengers.

thesicilian:
Why warn a company not to do bad when you can put laws and strategies in place to make sure that they don't do so?

Na the soldiers wey dey guard them go unleash hell for the community when they start crying out due to the environmental impact.

What a pity FG doesn't value citizens welfare

You are actually very dull and not smart if you can't read between the lines to know that the statement lacks any form of conviction.
He is merely placing the life and environment of those communities in the hands of investors

Lithium is Nigeria new oil, our government need to be strategic about it

No sir. . We have vast Iron Ore, far bigger than South Africa and we have coal. . Issue is our govt is lazy.

Nigeria is heavily blessed, but where are we. . ?

Tell Dangote too as he mines for cement and coal

Good Question. We explore, we sell at the approved and recognised international pricing globally. This Chinese people and their cheap and exploitative antics.

Can't we exploit this mineral ourselves?

Do you even understand what you wrote or it is just a bid to comment quickly??

Every knowledgeable person knows that there is regulatory bodies in place for such kind of innovation.

Do you expect the president to tell them to leave the place in ruin in the course of there work??
Haba!!! Must we complain over everything?? 😔

Klington:


No plans.
No values.
No sauce.
No charisma.
No seriousness.
No responsibility.
No methodology.
No pattern..... Just very anyhow somebody.

APC and their gullible followers are irredeemably nonentities and stark illiterates.

That's the consequences of EMILOKAN!!!

Nigeria is a big market for solar.

No light and sun plenty.
Also, there is cheap labor to manufacture lithium batteries.

But these clowns would allow these people to ship raw lithium to China, turn it to battery and import expensive batteries back to Nigeria while the environment where they mine are lithium becomes health hazard to the people there.


Naija delta all over again.

Your comprehension is zero.

Mining has a way of negatively damagaing the environs. The government should looks for way to mitigate the damages.

How should the President sound? He should slap them and draw their ears? Only God knows how most of you are brought up such that to you, everything must be violence

Don't mind him.. Such a silly reasoning. I couldnt believe an adult typed this!

Let's bookmark this page , just incase Host communities kidnaps expertraites ... because the minister already sold us cheap with is words...

See the baboon that already left Nigeria in ruins is talking to another

So an investor that is going to reap millions from doing business in a host community needs to be reminded not to forget CSR to that community? Was there no agreement signed regarding this ab initio? Except of course, the Nigerian thing has happened with the investor(s) and someone has collected upfront.

Good

I am shocked the President spoke that way regarding the issue of environmental degradation in the host communities. The issue of environmental impact should not be a matter of opinion or morality but of the law. There must be the clear risk of legal penalties for mining companies to take the issue seriously. Speaking to them this way is an indirect way of telling them that they can create environmental issues in the host communities without risk of legal punishment.

I know 60 - 70% of you have no clue whatsoever how these things work. That's okay - that is exactly why people like me are here. To pour knowledge into your insipid mind! There are agencies that are already empowered by law to regulate and implement environmental protections. An additional executive order when there are laws and regulations on ground is as meaningless as the degree certificate you got, if you really do have one in the first place.

While you are at it, look up NESREA and the NESREA Act, and get back to me: http://nesrea.gov.ng/

Olodo!

Why are you guys in the southwest always so rude and uncivilized?

emorse:

It was only a friendly reminder Mr man. There are well-detailed laws, regulations, and enforcement bodies in charge of environmental protection. Should be obvious, shouldn't it?

CountinBlessins:

I'm neither from nor in the South West. Also i wasn't rude - there is nothing I've told you that isn't true. You are thoroughly ignorant and arrogant about it too! And if your mind isn't indeed insipid, why would you confidently assume a faceless profile is from a certain area?

Rest jare.

Is it that the Nigerian government don’t have laws guiding the operation of mining lithium in Nigeria its shameful to make such a statement ,we should sound serious, so the investors can work within our environmental laws , the lithium should be mined in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.

Young man go and find something useful to do. This conversation is not for you! You see, it's not everyone I will bother to explain things to - those dull fellows I replied above, at least showed a little promise so I know they can understand to some degree when I explain to them that environmental protection already falls within a highly structured framework of laws, regulations and enforcement agencies - in fact so many that there are recommendations to even eliminate a few.
