Why did they not seize the machinations found on site . If nah ND the story for different . Thieving bunch . This mining up there has been going in for more than 30 years . Everyone kept mute .

You are very correct, during my NYSC years back, l have a close friend from Kaduna, he is from this same local government and he told me how they made millions from this site because there was no strict control & regulation

erico2k2:

IdegahRichard08:
I AM NOT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OBSERVING THE MINING REGULATION, BUT WHAT I AM AGAINST IS "they calling it illegal mining when they are not providing job oppertunities.
The few hard working Nigerian who chosses not to go into criminal act resulved to feed their families through this sressfull activity,yet you want to chase them away hereby conveeting the site into a private property just as in the case of TIN and COLUMBITE in Plateau state just for your selfish interest

Cutehector:
As far as I am concerned, this government is illegal.

Sometimes it is better to keep quiet than open your mouth and show the world how stupid you are. I guess you know this saying.

Can you please explain how the government is different from the people who elect and/or allow them to be their public servants?
Thanks.

If the person doing this is prosecuted now some coconut heads will start screaming witch hunt and what have you.

What makes it illegal? Isn't it a gift of nature? Since you guys have decided to impoverish your subjects, then it's up to them to find a way. Any way na way biko.

emperorAY:
I think mining should be d sole responsibility of d state,the FG has too much on its plate right nw to be able to monitor and regulate dat sector

ChangeIsCostant:
The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Mr Kayode Fayemi, yesterday visited the sites of illegal gold mining operations in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State. Fayemi said, the ministry was on a National tour on mining locations.

The minister, while commenting on illegal mining, said it was a source of concern for the government, adding that steps were being taken to address the challenges. He said the government had been active in pulling together the artisanal and informal miners to reduce illegal mining.

It's very annoying to hear people commenting rubbish about people carrying out illegal minning of Gold in Kaduna. My question is, how many minning License has the government given to companies to mine and employ jobless workers. How well has the government develop policies to develop the mining industries to create job for jobless youth. For me let them mine and create jobs for themselves, since the senseless government has no cut policies to use the mining industry to create job for our youths. My opinion.

nwabobo:
That is the norm in Northern Nigeria. Lots of mining going on with nothing going into the federation account.

These activities are not even hidden, they are done in the full glare of the public and law enforcement agents. Along the Potiskum - Fika -Gombe road, there are lots of mining activities going on there and they'd just pocket the money but keep their eyes on oil money.

Cutehector:
yeah I do... Got a problem with it?

Truly the dullard in Aso Rock is an ethnic bigot and champion of nepotism.
This is CORRUPTION instead of our narrow definition of just stealing.
Never mind the sellout who is called Asiwaju Asiwere of thugs and touts.

NaWetinDey:
I don't know if the government has taken possession of all the lands in the north where there are all kinds of deposits and if the federal government has taken control over those places as done in oil rich regions. The fed should also include them 13% derivation from those deposits if it's not been done.

beatcoins:
Government provides water and power for its citizens, if you decide to dig a well or use generator, is it illegal?

buffalowings:
useless country

come to plateau and see illegal tin mining

bestman09:
I learnt that there are large deposits of Gold in Oyo state. Even in Ibadan, when digging well for water, you will see shining particles which they say is gold
