FG gives committee seven days to evaluate gold mining site’s

The Federal Ministry of Solid Minerals Development, has given its fact-finding committee a seven-day ultimatum to evaluate the impact of gold mining site operations on Osun State communities.

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, disclosed this on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 through his X page.

This comes just four days after the minister cautioned the Osun State Government against jeopardizing the Federal Government’s efforts to attract Foreign Direct Investment by closing down a mining site.

Recall that on September 30, 2024, the Osun State Government reportedly sealed the business premises insisting that a court ordered the state to confiscate the company for flagrant tax violations and other operational matters.
