Governors, FG agree on reforms in solid minerals development

They met with the Minister of Solid Minerals Development , Dr. Oladele Alake, and agreed on ways of improving the sector.

The forum sought stronger intergovernmental relations in coordinating the activities of the sector from licensing, surveillance to operational safeguards. It emphasised on the importance of the gemstone and jewelry-making industry in unlocking the value of Nigeria’s mineral wealth. “If we have done the needful years and decades ago, if we had diverted our attention to this sector, it is capable of sustaining the Nigerian economy. But we didn’t, because we had oil and we had free flow of petrol dollars that shut our eyes to those critical sectors, like solid minerals, like gemstones and jewelry, or agriculture. But today, we are here because the nation can no longer solely rely on petro dollars.
