Alake Gives Illegal Miners 30-day Ultimatum To join Co-operatives
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, has given all miners engaged in the illegal extraction of mineral resources in the country an ultimatum of 30 days to join notable mining co-operatives or face the full wrath of the law.

This was even as the minister unveiled a plan to set up a surveillance task force that would include policemen and other relevant agencies to secure the mines in the country.

Alake gave the charge at a world press conference held in Abuja on Sunday.

“For the last time, let me declare again that the ministry is giving such persons 30 days grace to join a miners’ co-operative or find another vocation to do.

“On the expiration of the period, the full weight of the law will fall on anyone seen on a mining site without a determinable status.

“This message will be interpreted into Nigerian languages and broadcast on the radio to ensure no one is ignorant of this directive.

“From October, a rejuvenated security regime will become active in the solid minerals sector.

“This will include the Mine Police, sourced from the Nigeria Police and specially trained to detect illegal mining and apprehend offenders.

“The new Mines Surveillance Security Task Force will coordinate the Mines Police and proactively address high-risk incidences of breach of Mining Laws.

“The Federal and State governments will also be encouraged to allocate the prosecution of cases against illegal miners to competent courts.”

In Nigeria, Illegal mining of mineral resources has continued to remain a worrisome trend for the Federal Government and given Nigerians some level of concern.

On August 3, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Mary Ogbe, raised a similar alarm that illegal mining activities are disrupting the country’s $700 billion industry.

According to her, some of the minerals are often exported raw to Asian and European countries at ridiculous prices without value. (Punch/vitalnewsngr.com)
