Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State said that he would not ban mining activities in the state
Makinde stated this in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
When asked if he was going to ban mining in the state following the incident, Makinde said, “My approach has been a little bit different.
“I will not go out to ban mining activities because there are people who are legally mining in the state.
“They may be international investors. You will give the impression that this is a lawless environment where we will not obey our contracts, what we signed with people.
“It is a difficult route to take. When we are swimming through the situation we have found ourselves, we will not have a knee-jerk reaction to the issue.”
Recall the governor blamed illegal miners the Tuesday explosion in Bodija.
