  • The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, has cautioned state governments about shutting down mining operations, emphasizing that they do not possess the constitutional power to undertake such actions.

    Alake emphasized that mining activities are solely under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, and that no state has the power to intervene in any mining operations.

    The ministers made their remarks in reaction to the recent statements made by state governors in Gombe and Kogi, as well as the closure of Segilola Mining Company by the Osun State Government due to issues related to taxation and operational concerns.

    He said, “State governments’ ban on mining activities across the country is a point that is really sore and it is a constitution matter.

    “I want to use this opportunity to tell the entire Nigerian public that no state and I repeat no state, has the authority to interfere in mining operations. No state government has that authority. It is a no-brainer and is a constitutional matter. Mining belongs exclusively in the purview of the Federal Government.

    “According to the Constitution, it is in the exclusive legislative list and not in the residual or concurrent. It is in the exclusive legislative list and every item on this list belongs to the Federal Government.”

    “Indiscriminate closures of mining operations by subnationals raise the risk of discouraging foreign direct investments and even worse, possible divestment by existing companies.

    “Mining is on the exclusive legislative list. The Ministry of Solid Minerals should be consulted before such disruptive actions are taken.”

  • “Let me remind you about that statement credited to Dino. He’s part of the problem. Why? Because he ran for governor in Kogi State and didn’t even vote for himself. Put that on record: he didn’t go out to vote in his own election.” - PDP Chairman, Umar Iliya Damagum.

  • PDP lose as the PDP National Working Committee grants Wike control over Rivers.

    Wike’s loyalist within the PDP National Working Committee have successfully gained approval and postponed the National Executive Committee meeting, which was initially scheduled for September 26, to October 24.

    The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has strengthened his stance in the ongoing leadership dispute within the Peoples Democratic Party, as the National Working Committee has officially supported the congresses held in Rivers State.

    “They have achieved their aim. Wike has again defeated the PDP governors as the NWC approved the Rivers and other states’ congresses. There was nothing a few NWC members who were against it could do other than allow them to have their way. As it stands, only the NEC can overturn it to suit the governors’ demands.

    “The Rivers State Congresses and those of other states were approved by the NWC. A few states where issues were identified were stepped down. For example, in Kogi, the Chairman and Deputy were not approved due to anomalies.

    “Only the NEC can overturn the NWC’s decision on Rivers and other states. However, the NEC meeting, originally slated for September 26, has been postponed to October 24, which may not hold on that date. As it stands, Wike has defeated the Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed-led PDP Governors Forum,” A source told the Punch.
