Nigeria to build world class ecology of mineral sector, says Fayemi

The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi has reiterated the government’s determination to turn around the mining sector by building a world class ecology of mineral and mining in the country.

Speaking at Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) he said the government is serious about taking mining out of the dungeon and listening to players and drivers of the industry as well as work with key enablers, particularly enabling ministries to ensure it is done.

He argued that the country is focusing more on rebuilding Nigeria mining and mineral sector, which has been comatose for quite a long time, adding, to ensure this “ we have come up with a Roadmap and constituted a committee called Mining Implementation Strategy Team (MIST).”
