Kebbi State Government on Friday announced ban of all mining activities in the state.

Addressing journalists in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital on Friday, Secretary to the State Government, Yakubu Tafida, said the government took the action because of insecurity and the need to protect mining workers, host communities and put in measures for revenue generation.

He described it as a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring the safety of workers and people in mining communities.

He said the state government was not unmindful of the fact that mining is under Exclusive Legislative List, but took the action after a thorough assessment of the current security situation.

The SSG said the state government believes that it is of utmost importance to prioritize protection and security of its citizens and as well prevent mining fields from being converted to breeding criminals by unauthorized foreigners.

“This has happened in other neighbouring states for which we want to avert,” he said

He stated that government had decided to address the concerns through comprehensive evaluation and enforcement of strict regulations that seek to promote responsible mining, safeguard the environment, enhance revenue generation and above all, secure lives.

Oil belongs to all Nigerians and Gold belongs to only the North. Wherever there is natural resources there is always trouble only a sane clim can handle the fall out these natural blessings bring the South selflessly handle it well but what about the North egoism has placed the region in an almost unrecoverable decline.

Minning is the reason for insecurity in the North because big men in the North is sponsoring them with China and France. Just like some people sponsoring Niger delta militant for their selfish gain same thing going on in the east.

Wittyness

They ban mining, so they say.

In the south the Fulani Army would shoot us.

E don happen oo

The Chinese have THEIR tentacles in the entire mining projects up north. How they have such free hand is what baffles me, to add salt to injury, they use our soldiers and police as first defense wall mechanism. While their embedded PMC contractors as secondary.

The mining sites are controlled by foreign elements who also provide arms and sustenance for bandits in the North

Why. We're they not the ones celebrating banditry and Boko Haram. Please they should live with the monsters they created through nepotism. Idiots.

After cashing out
It is better late than never, this is a welcome development if it'd be done with sincerity on the part of government.
Without the right political will no project can be successful

See mumu.

Always blaming the Chinese while skimming the Government out.

You said that police and soldiers are protecting them yet not knowing that Government are behind it too.

You think that Chinese man can have the confidence to fly all the way from China to Nigeria to mine our mineral resources without Government being part of it?

Are you a yoruba man?. Because this is how they condemn partially
