NIMASA: River Kaduna harbours raw gold, other mineral deposits, sweeter fishes worth millions of dollars

Dr Jamoh however corrected the impression that there can’t be maritime activities in the north because it has no sea, saying that it is all about dredging the waterways for economic activities.

“Whatever resources you can have in our sea, you can have it there. The maritime asset you can have in our sea, you have it here in river Kaduna. That is where you will get things like gold, copper, everything, under the water. We don’t harness it. “So, I begin to wonder why all these years, we never try to look at the River Kaduna beyond what the River Kaduna should provide. We should be able to see a lot of things in River Kaduna across that line.

“Aside from the tourism business, the resources under the water are enormous: there are a variety of fishes underneath the water most of which are even sweeter and healthier than those we get in the sea because they are exposed to natural foods. “Also we can develop transportation system for communities across the river. This is not limited to only river Kaduna but other rivers across the country. We have over 10,000 km of inland waterways that can be developed. The sea is less than a thousand kilometres so there is real economic potential in the inland waterways.

“We should be able to be conscious of our safety, we should be able to educate. You are entering your car, they say you must use a safety belt. How can you enter a canoe without a life vest? If there is an accident in the canoe, you float when you have your life vest. Even in aircraft, you still fasten your seat belt. But you enter the canoe, nobody to enforce that.

todayng Everywhere there are there Iswap, Boko Haram and Bandits terror grouos, there is most likely precious stones like gold etc in those areas trading for arms.
