Niger State Government has conditionally suspended its ban on mining activities in the state, a year after Governor Umaru Bago placed the restriction
Acting Governor Yakubu Garba announced the suspension at the Government House in Minna, outlining the conditions for mining companies to operate in the state.
He said mining companies must approach the State Ministry of Mineral Resources for profiling, to curb insecurity and reduce revenue losses.
He said the profiling process will enable the state government to keep track of mining activities, ensure compliance with regulations, and prevent illegal mining.
The acting governor also inaugurated a task force to tackle illegal mining across the state.
