The Salt In Ebonyi Belongs To FG But The Gold In Zamfara Belongs To The State by fkelly(m): 6:26am On Oct 05, 2023 |
Imagine the Salt in Ebonyi state belongs to FG but the gold in Zamfara belongs to the state. Oil in South belongs to federal government but Golds in the North belongs to the state. Nigeria which way? We Are Salt Of The Nation But Don’t Know How Much Revenue Is Generated—Ebonyi Gov By Ukpe Philip on September 28, 2023 The Governor of Ebonyi Francis Nwifuru, has said that his government is not aware of the revenue that accrues from salt mining in his state. The governor said the Federal Government should be held accountable for the proceeds. Nwifuru shared his thoughts on Thursday on Arise TV. Reports on the National Multidimensional Poverty Index released by the National Bureau of Statistics ranks Ebonyi state among the poorest. “Ebonyi is the salt of the nation and you ask us how much we are making. Its under the Federal Government and it is only the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel that can tell us how much they are making from the salt. “You will know as a governor, I know what is going on but I don’t know the details because I don’t issue certificates. They are not answerable to me. They are answerable to the Federal Ministry of Mining. Even royalties are being paid to the Federal Ministry of Mining. “What the state gets is from community development. If you look at the Mining Act of 2007 very well, you will find out that the state is not recognised. What is recognised are the communities. That is what we are even agitating that states should be given more opportunities to discuss the Mining Act.” Ebonyi ranks among the states with the highest salt deposits in the country. Experts have decried the soaring rate of Nigeria’s salt import amid huge deposits in Ebonyi, Benue, Cross River, Abia, Taraba and Nasarawa states. In 2022, the NBS released a report that Nigeria spent at least N155bn on the importation of salt and other locally available products from Asia and South America |

fkelly:Lying as usual. Who even takes salt from Ebonyi? You mention Gold and you brought up salt, soroniyen? There's gold in Osun and it's transactions reflect on FG foreign exchange revenue yet Osun will not even come up with this your kind of lie. You don't even know Zamfara if you leave its pride in Agriculture and starts bringing up gold which has fueled a lot of deaths in the state to the extent that air force keeps bombing the state and bandits attacking the villagers for not cooperating with them. Zamfara is agrarian, pocket your gold story because it is a lie. Ministry of mining is Federal and the Minister is a Southerner. He will not leave gold in any part and record only the one from Osun.
