THE Federal Government has struck a partnership with the Osun and Kebbi state governments to develop gold mining.

The pilot scheme of the “Presidential Initiative to streamline gold mining for the benefit of the people, the artisans and the governments”, is soon to be launched.

Three others states – Niger, Kaduna, Zamfara – which possess mineral resources in large volume, are also to enjoy the Federal Government’s partnership to boost the plan to diversify the nation’s economy from its reliance on oil revenue.

The initiative in Osun, Kebbi and other states, is based on the volume of available gold deposits and the willingness of the state governments to develop the mining sector to generate resources and to create jobs for their people.

There is a large deposit of gold in the eastern part of Osun State, which is currently being mined haphazardly with little or no control from the government.

According to the Federal Government’s initiative, artisanal miners will be organised to facilitate better output and the enjoyment of the benefit of their resources.

After a period of training, the artisanal miners will be able to access micro-credit and be exposed to further capacity-building.

The Federal Government, it was learnt, intends to grow the solid minerals’ Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by over eight per cent in 2020 under the Economic Recovery Growth Plan (ERGP).

Osun State Governor Gboyega Oyetola is excited about the prospects in the plan for his people, who will reap the benefits while his government will get the opportunity to boost its IGR.

Oyetola said: “I look forward to the effects this will have on our people with the job opportunities and the chance for a better life for our people, who are ready to take advantage of the natural resources they have in their backyard.

“For us as a government, we will improve on our revenue generation and, therefore, have the resources to be able to cater for the needs of our people.

“It is good to streamline the activities at the mining sites to standardise things and ensure the all stakeholders get the benefits – the community, the people and the government.”

The governor promised to cooperate with the Federal Government in whatever plan it has for the mining sector in the state.

He said the initiative is in line with the objectives of his government, which is to tap into all the available resources

He noted that he met with Minister of Mines and Steel Development Alhaji Bawa Bwari in Abuja last December on the possibility of Federal Government’s support or partnership with the state to boost mining.

Oyetola said he was also looking forward to the banana farming collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.

The thing really pain you o

Atiku the right choice, lets get Nigeria workingPastor Osinbajo was supposed to be the Esther or Shedrac, Mishak and Abedniggo or David of Nigerian Christians.
Unfortunately Pastor Osinbajo is VP for himself and family alone; even RCCG cannot point at any tangible benefit of having Osinbajo as a Member and Provincial Pastor as VP.
When Osinbajo was sworn in as VP, he was asked whether he preferred to be addressed as "Pastor" or "professor" he said he preferred to be addressed as "Professor", at the expense of his ordination as a Provincial Pastor.
Today, his campaign posters address him as "Pastor Osinbajo" and not "Professor Osinbajo"Buhari has no money to buy APC nomination form whereas his son who has never worked anywhere could afford multimillion Naira motorcycle.
What is worse? Buhari daughter who was "let my people go" student of Law School is in a plum job in NNPC, Osinbajo daughter is a bigtime business woman in her teens, APC politician children are CBN employees, while N-Power and BMC of N30k is best for you
... and several other instances
As a child growing up, we were told to be very careful and mindful of those we associate with, this is simply because its impossible to find a good man in the midst of thieves. The fact that Buhari is not only wining and dining with thieves, but also shielding them, proves that Buhari is a greater thief. Like they say show me your friends and i will show you who you are.
If you read this and still vote for Buhari and APC, then look at the mirror, the person you see there is ... AN IDIOT!Up till now Osinbajo has not seen the need for FG to pay the terrorists to release Leah, but he is going about distributing billions of Naira in the name of Tradermoni, while Leah Sharibu is still languishing in the hands of the terrorist group for her faith in Pastor Osinbajo's Lord Jesus Christ.
Somebody is deceiving us Christians. The truth must be told.
Catholic Bishops were murdered inside Church by fulani herdsmen who have Buhari's full support, Pastor Osinbajo just merely explained it away as "we will fish out the culprits".
Only recently, a Christian former Chief of Defence Staff was murdered in very very questionable circumstances.
How many shall we count?ANYBODY NOT VOTING ATIKUOBI IS DEMENTED,IDIOTIC PIG.

One one hand this will have positive effects on our economy in the near future, but on the other hand it'll have negative impacts on the environment and many ecosystems that'll be affected

Truth b told, d locals there r ignorant about the illegal exploration of gold at their backyard by the Chinese. When we told one of d native there about it he said "won gba sample ni"( they are still collecting samples). But what do I know
