Hey folks! Big news coming out of Borno State. The government has decided to ban mining activities in the state. And you know what? It’s all in the name of curbing insecurity. The federal government had previously said that state governments don’t have the power to ban mining, but Borno State is going against the grain. The Commissioner for Information and Internal Security, Usman Tar, issued a statement warning all players in the mining sector to abide by the ban. And let me tell you, if anyone dares to violate it, they’ll face the wrath of the law. The state government is even taking steps to map and secure the mining sites to ensure everyone’s safety. They’re also working on a governance protocol and a code of conduct for the mining sector. This is a bold move by Borno State, and it’s definitely going to make a difference in tackling insecurity. Kudos to them!
