The Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, has predicted a daily turnover of N1.2 billion from the sales of gold in the state. He believes that there is a need to reorganize the gold market in order to define the sales and generate funds for the benefit of all. The Mohammed Umaru Bago International Gold Market, located in Minna, was officially opened on Friday. The market is a collaboration between Al-Istiqama Integrated Services Ltd and the Niger State Government. The governor stated that the market’s establishment will help combat illicit mining and boost economic activity in the state. Additionally, the project aims to create opportunities for new enterprises in the Kure Ultra-Modern Market. So far, the project has already engaged 150 young people.
