As part of measures being put in place to effectively regulate mining activities, the Federal Government is coming up with an all-encompassing policy to adequately unlock the potentials abound in the sector by encouraging and empowering local miners to take over the mining activities, thereby creating huge job opportunities for more Nigerian youths.https://businessday.ng/news/article/fg-moves-to-establish-zonal-courts-to-try-jail-illegal-miners-for-two-years/amp/ 2 Likes 1 Share

“We want to encourage you to do your businesses in genuine ways: pay your royalties and let the Federal Government get money to develop the nation. Do your Environmental Impact Assessment Reports. We are encouraging them because mining is key for the diversification of the economy”. |

Nigeria has to nonchalant about tackling this menace. Journalists are the ones uncovering illegal mining opperations while the police are always unaware. Osun beem a hotspot with no arrest being publicized. Just compare it to Ghana where you can read about illegal miners being arrested frequently. Illegal miners just dont want to pay taxes or follow environmenta laws. The second anything goes wrong like lead poising on Zamfara they vanish. 2 Likes |

More of the same old Nigerian mentality of treating typhoid with paracetamol, or applying a sticking plaster to a stab wound. The basic problem here is one of private property rights, or rather the lack of them. The only workable long-term remedy is to repeal the insane Land Use Act, allow individuals to have free and clear property rights over anything discovered on their land, and then reform the courts to allow said rights to be quickly and affordably enforced. Anything else will just conjure up brand new avenues for politicians, public "servants" and their cronies to illegally enrich themselves at the expense of others. 9 Likes |

omohayek: I agree but getting rid of the land use act wont help the miners gain mineral rights. Section 44 (3) has to be deleted to achieve individual mineral rights. Land rights and mineral rights naturally go together but the constitution paternalistic statist. Even getting Nigerians to agree with repealing thess laws is hard. Some will argue for the state government to own and control everything. Its weird to see someone dislike freedom. Chapter IV Fundamental Rights Exclusive Legislative List: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Blue3k:Unfortunately, most Nigerians are collectivist rent-seekers by nature, only interested in obtaining windfall gains by exploiting their tribal and religious affiliations. That's why they are so easily agitated about how "juicy appointments" are being shared out, but have so little to say about all the inane policies that put such a brake on economic development. As cynical as it sounds, I truly believe the average Nigerian would be quite content to continue living in a hellhole with potted roads and an average life expectancy in the 50s, just as so long as he or she personally gets to do so in a mansion in Banana Island with a 5-series Mercedes Benz parked in the front-yard; the notion of a "public good" carries almost no weight here. 3 Likes |

We are coming up with a policy called – Downstream Policy, that, you cannot take away any more. The authors should of pressed him to elaborate on this. Is FG is planning on placing export tarriffs on certain minerals? Its been confirmed the CBN will be buying up gold produced in Nigeria. “Mining is key towards the industrialisation of this nation. The fourth industrial revolution can only be by the way of mining and Nigeria is blessed with over 44 mineral resources. The 4th industrial revolution is the internet of things. Mining will help with basic manufacturing. Nigeria would really need lots human capital investment to delve into that. Without it the country just adding another bunch commodities to be dependent. 2 Likes

He explained that the stringent conditions and adherence to law becomes inevitable owing to fact that Federal Government is working towards using the nation’s mining sector to diversify the economy, mitigate the country’s unemployment rates and also lift over 100 million citizens out of poverty.Anything to move our darling nation forward is what we sane, honest and hardworking Nigerians are after. It is only when we start doing things the right way that we are going to witness development as a nation. Slow and steady we will get to a New and better Nigeria. God bless Nigeria. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Only two years. That implies illegal mining is not as serious as robbery. Illegal miners reading this and will be laughing. Did they expect the miners to tremble at this news. Those guys make millions in mining a pay indigenes enough. A serious government will do the needful and not make noise by reading on a script. Those sent to arrest them will be compromised when small change get into their hands and the leftover given to their oga. 1 Like |
