By: Mary Owolabi
In response to President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s efforts to bring order to the country’s mining industry, Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun we met on Tuesday in Abuja with the technical committee tasked with forming a joint task force to address the issues raised by illegal mining in Nigeria.
Representatives from the Armed Forces, Police, NSCDC, Ministry of Solid Minerals, Environment, and other relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies attended the committee meeting, which took place at the Police Force Headquarters.
“Key objectives include enhancing security in mining areas, implementing mining laws, ensuring proper warehousing and monitoring of explosives, and advancing environmental sustainability in our mining operations,” according to a statement released by ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer.
The Nigeria Police Force, security forces, and other MDAs remain steadfast in supporting the agenda of the Federal Government’s quest for economic recovery and growth as well as the socio-political development of Nigeria.
