Yes, that is good. South-East and South-South Senators are happy that the 2nd Niger bridge budget has been slashed, infact they are the one that actually slashed the budget in order to punished Buhari. This is because it is Buhari and his family that will use the bridge.

Just as I expected. Nice Job Supreme Court.
We are talking about the same sherif that made sure pdp was defeated in ondo, even his stooge in the person of Jimoh Ibrahim was quoted to have said he has achieved what he set out to achieve (pdp loss) lol. Well all I have to say is that this is victory for democracy and there just might be little hope for Nigeria.

Nigeria’s vice-president has returned from a whistlestop trip to meet ailing President Muhammadu Buhari in London and will chair Wednesday’s weekly cabinet meeting, his spokesman said.

Acting President Yemi “Osinbajo now back in Abuja from London & will be presiding over FEC (federal executive committee) this morning,” tweeted Laolu Akande.


He also pledged to share “more information” about Osinbajo’s encounter with Buhari, describing it as “a very good meeting”.


Osinbajo, who has been acting president since Buhari left for medical treatment on May 7, flew to London on Tuesday.

No details were given about the meeting but it is believed to be the first face-to-face encounter between Nigeria’s two most senior politicians in more than two months.

Buhari, 74, has not been seen in that time and has now spent nearly four months of this year out of the country, prompting growing calls for clarity about his fitness to govern.


His condition has not been disclosed but aides have previously played down rumours that he was terminally ill with cancer or even dead.

His wife Aisha, who flew to London earlier this month, on Monday posted a cryptic message on her Facebook page in response to a Nigerian senator’s description of Buhari as “the absent Lion King”.

“God has answered the prayers of the weaker Animals. The Hyena’s and the Jackals will soon be sent out of the kingdom,” she wrote.

The description has been seen as a reference to a supposed behind-the-scenes struggle for power and influence in government during Buhari’s absence.

The Nation newspaper, owned by the founder of Buhari’s All Progressives Congress party, Bola Tinubu, said Osinbajo’s trip to London had been secretly planned for weeks.

“The Acting President has actually been relying on third-party information and purported directives from the President in London,” an unnamed source was quoted as saying.


Another said: “The trip had been planned in the past three weeks but was only known to few people for strategic reasons. The ‘Jackals and Hyenas’ were beaten to it.”

Osinbajo wanted “undiluted information” on Buhari’s health, to brief his boss on decisions he had taken in his absence and get approval for policy, the second source added.

Nigeria as a country is blessed with abundance of many resources which include stones, precious metals and minerals. Following the history of the Nigerian mining, In the early 70s, Nigeria was a major importer of coal, tin, and columbite, as such, Nigeria made a lot or revenue from the exportation process. However, this exportation process and other activities in the mining sector suffered premature death when crude oil was discovered.

Many Nigerians have argued and made a lot of presentations on the need for the country to come up with more sectors and multiply the revenue streams of the country. When democracy gained prominence in 1999, President Obasanjo worked tirelessly in putting in place a mechanism for diversification of the country’s revenue and as far as the mining sector is concerned, the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act was inaugurated in 2007 to revive the mining sector in Nigeria.

It should be noted that though over 40 different minerals are scattered across Nigeria, some of them are not available in commercial quantities. The Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in its mining sector reformation strategy identified seven (7) minerals for strategic and priority development. The identified minerals are Iron ore, Coal, Lead/Zinc, Bitumen, Gold, Limestone and Barite.

Mining Sector’s Legal and Regulatory Framework.

The Nigerian Mineral and mining Act regulates the mining sector in Nigeria by vesting the regulation and control of ownership of Nigeria’s mineral resources. Also, the provision of Nigeria’s National Minerals and Metals Policy coupled with Minerals and Mining Regulations control the activities of the sector.

In terms of administration of the mining industry, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development oversees the industry’s administrative activities. The administration is carried out by Mines Inspectorate Department, Artisanal and Small Scale Mining Department, Mines, Environment and Compliance and Mining Cadastre office.

Mining Titles and Licenses.

Mining titles are granted to individuals, companies and co-operatives. Mining leases and exploration licenses can be granted through competitive bidding or individual request. Under competitive bidding, mineral locations are consolidated into blocks by the government and such blocks are offered for sale to both local and foreign investors who have financial and technical muscle to consummate mining activities. The bidding process under the competitive bidding include advertisement in media, due process of diligence by data room, receipt of Expression of Interest (EOI), preferred investor selection, communication of investors that are selected to National Assembly Committee on Solid Minerals and offer of mineral titles to selected investors.

As far as licensing and leasing is concerned, the types of licenses and leases that can be given include Renaissance Permits (RP), Exploration license, Quarry Lease, Small-Scale Mining lease, Mining lease and water use permit.

Mining business in Nigeria.

In Nigerian mining, Nigerians can start and carry on the business of mining through partnership, limited liability companies, unlimited liability companies and unincorporated joint venture while foreigners are only authorized to start and carry on mining business through limited liability companies as section 54 of Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) states that foreign company cannot carry on any business in Nigeria. As such, the documents required for company’s incorporation in Nigeria are Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Share Capital statement, compliance with Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) declaration, notice of situation of the company’s registered office and return of allotment of shares and particulars of First Directors of the company.

Challenges in the industry.

The challenges confronted by investors are much and as such, can not be over emphasized.

However, the major challenges that mining industry’s investors are facing are low project funding due to slow reform implementation by the government, appalling level of infrastructural development, inadequate security, illegal mining and community issues.

Buhari appointed Magu and not Osinbajo. It will amount to serious insubordination for the acting president to rebmove Magu when he (Magu) still enjoys the confidence of the substantive president. In fact, only an amateur political analyst will advice the acting president to handle the Magu issue in another way.
