If government unlocked the potential of those areas with modern equipment and funding there could be industry and export potential. The other issue is illegal miners harm environment and do not pay taxes. Anything that goes wrong will be everyones collective problem while they reap private benefits. Saying you cant criminalize the activity of these illegal miners is disingenuous because illegal miners are arrested every ounce in awhile. What your actually doing is using a carrot and stick approach. The ministry wishes to help the illegal miners who register and jail those who dont submit. “We cannot afford to criminalise their activities and we cannot also fold our arms and watch as they damage the lives of our people and the environment,’’ he said. “We are more than ever before determined to ensure better policing of artisanal miners through the newly constituted Mines Police. “The formalisation policy of the ministry has also led to the registration of more artisanal miners into mining cooperatives.’’ 2 Likes |

1. People mining solid minerals in the north illegally are poor and doing so for survival therefore assisted. 2. People doing illegal oil bunkry in the south are economic saboteurs and Criminals therefore hunted down with python dances. =Nigeria, one country. two different laws for North and South. 2 Likes |

Its weird people pretending like illegal mining is limited to the north. You can google illegal mining arrest in nigeria and see for yourselves its happens everywhere. Theres also an investigative report on illegal miners in Ebonyi using child labor here on nairaland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCTf8goJy9o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap4zkZiGqD4 |

Government is hypocritical about illegal mining in Nigeria. What do you want the people to survive on when you refused to provide the enabling environment for the private sector to flourish so that they can be gainfully emoyed? Governments do not complain, rather governments act. Some of us in the solid minerals sector who understand who it works know that Nigerian Government lacks the capacity to stop illegal mining. Where are they going to start? Abeg make I hear word jooo!
