Sule signs executive order on mining
Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has signed executive order No 02 2022 to protect mining host communities.
Commissioner for Environment and Natural resources, Kwanta Yakubu who brief newsmen in his office yesterday in Lafia, said the essence is to provide institutional support for technical assistance to artisanal miners.
He explained that all mining companies along with the host are to submit two copies of all previously signed agreements before or on January 30 to the ministry for vetting and certification.
“This is to put in check multiple issuances of community consents and development agreements to mining entities and to ensure that the community development commitments made therein are not in conflict with the overall development master plan of the state,” he said
Kwanta added that all mining entities arriving in the state with the authority of the federal government must report to the ministry to verify their legal status, citizenship and background before settlement in the communities in collaboration with security agencies.
