Zamfara Lifts Mining Ban And Opens Door to Economic Growth and Investment
Alake Dele has made a significant announcement on his X handle, sharing the exciting news that the ban on mining exploration in Zamfara State has finally been lifted after over five years of restrictions.
This decision marks a turning point for the state, which is rich in valuable mineral resources like gold, lithium, and copper.
The lifting of the ban comes after notable security improvements, allowing the government to focus on the potential economic benefits that mining can bring to the region and the country at large.
The ban, which was imposed several years ago, was originally put in place to tackle growing security concerns linked to illegal mining activities and the rise of banditry in the region.
These illegal operations were not only harming the environment but also fueling criminal activity.
However, despite the ban’s intentions, it inadvertently allowed illegal miners to continue exploiting the state’s vast mineral resources.
With security improving, the government has now decided it is the right time to lift the ban and regulate mining activities properly.
Alake Dele emphasized that this decision will enable the mining sector in Zamfara to contribute more significantly to the national economy.
“The state’s vast mineral wealth, particularly gold, lithium, and copper, can now be properly explored and mined, creating opportunities for both the state and the country,” he stated.
The goal is to ensure that mining activities are carried out legally, with better oversight and regulation to combat illegal mining and associated crimes more effectively.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
