Hmmm This piece lacks coherence and cohesion. As much as attempt is being made to illuminate on the issue, it hasn’t broached the bone of contention. It doesn’t capture the issue that led to the eyebrow raised by Oil producing states. Will the government permit the same for Oil regions in Nigeria? 126 Likes 8 Shares |

The Federal Government encourages state governments to be part of the exploitation of minerals in the country by incorporating a limited liability company with which to approach the Ministry for a license for Mining or Buying Centres. Lol in essence get off your butt and take initiative. Zamfara got the license and took advantage of the program in mining like other could of done. Has anyone heard of the federal government denying any state license to do the same thing? If the ss governor have an issue the supreme court will always be there to settle it. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

As the miners are selling to bandits, mietty alla, bokoharam, Fulani herdsmen for ak47 or zamfra state government, why not the drillers in east drill sale to IPOB, obiakpo boys, nwaike cult boys, and the eastern governments to balance the equation and bring fair justice If we were truthful about one Nigeria 71 Likes 4 Shares |

![]() 2nd to the last paragraph," the federal government is yet to, or still registering the artisanal miners, they just hastily started it a while ago with PAGMI" ... ![]() The real front men here are the so Called artisanal miners who mines for Zamfara government. So any body can just grab some mining tools and start digging for gold to sale to zamfara government at giveaway price, to process and sale to CBN ? why can't there be artisanal oil drillers and refiners in South South? Why call it oil bunkering? 118 Likes 6 Shares |

If Zamfara "artisanal miners" can be recognized and allowed to operate like legitimate business outfits, "oil bunkerers" in the Niger Delta should also be allowed to operate unhindered. . That means soldiers should stop shooting at local folks that are branded oil thieves for helping themselves with the resources found in their land... Folks from oil producing areas should start oil and gas exploration whenever they want without licenses and sell to NNPC? Folks, this government is evil! You can see the kind of argeument being churned out to defend evil. Rather than implement the law, Buhari is shifting the goalpost once again! The biggest problem with Buhari is his inherent inability to call a spade a spade, whenever the culprits are from his tribe/zone/party, dude starts to speak in tongues! The man will rather run from pillar to post, Scanvenging for excuses, rather than allow the law take it's full course! Buhari and his likes should never have been anywhere near a presidential house! 99 Likes 14 Shares |

Lol people on this forum know how to expose their criminal sympathies. No the government cant legalize theft aka oil bunkering. Bunkers just steal oil in pipelines and resell on the open market. Drilling for oil is clearly different from stealing oil out random pipelines. If you want to argue small scale prospecters should be given licenses to explore that's a valid argument. If you want modular refineries that makes sense. Both are currently legal within the country. What is bunkering? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Blue3k:This is the point, there is no difference between the guy who steals from government oil pipeline without permission and the guy who digs gold for years without permission. Who gave the artisanal miners licences to dig supposed government gold deposits for decades ? The ministry implicated itself by accepting that PAGMI is just beign formed TO REGISTER artisan criminals who have been having a field day, why attack their Niger delta counterparts? This is not to say anyone supports such acts , but what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. 52 Likes 4 Shares |

Commonsense99: If your point is you want then arrested for previous crimes fine. Illegal miners also get arrested there's plenty of articles about it. The government gave them licenses to opperate so it's not illegal. All criminality should be prosecuted. Btw PAGMI was formed in 2019. Artisanal miners have always had the opportunity to register if they pleased before the program existed. Oil bunkers could apply for a license but they cant steal from pipelines and find their own oil. The Presidential Artisanal Gold Mining Development Initiative (“PAGMI”) is a comprehensive artisanal and small-scale gold mining development programme, launched in 2019 to foster the formalization and integration of artisanal gold mining activities into Nigeria’s legal, economic, and institutional framework. 2 Likes |

If PAGMI was just formed this 2019, who registered the artisanal criminals of yesteryears? Haven't we heard rumours of how illegal cartels control that mining with government looking the other way? Dude we all know the government had always handled the issue of illegal mining with kid gloves in relation to oil bunkering. 14 Likes |

Commonsense99: Artisanal miners aren't criminals by default. They're small scale miners which comprises most mining in Nigeria. Illegal miners are criminals because they mine without a license. Gossip and rumors are for the birds lets stick to facts that can be verified. Illegal mining hasnt been taken seriously hence why the government should do more to crack down on them like they do the oil bunkers. Get a license or go to jail plain and simple.

The obvious question is, why are artisans not allowed to legally “mine” crude oil in Niger Delta just like artisans in Zamfara are allowed and encouraged to mine gold. This article even goes further to say that they have a recognized association. But in Niger Delta, local individuals who attempt to do anything with crude oil are tagged bunkers. If the Federal has NNPC for regulation and even exploration of crude oil as way to maintain accountability for the national interest, why can’t they have something simllar for gold instead of leaving such matter of national interest in the hands of artisans? If I may ask, who monitors the quantity they mine? From the article, one can equally draw some parallels. If Zamfara state government is buying the gold from the artisans, with the excuse that they are mitigating against illegal dealings, then River state government should have employed the same strategy during the days of the militants. All that River state needed to do was buy off crude oil from the militants, instead federal government sent in soldiers to fight them. Anyway, the South will continue to be Mumu. 9 Likes |
