So, guess what? The former Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, and the ex-director-general of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, are totally giving props to the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake. They’re all about how he’s getting everyone hyped about the solid minerals sector. Shittu was in Abuja and he straight-up said that this sector is the key to mixing things up and making our economy more diverse. He’s all like, ‘Yo, Nigeria has so many mineral resources, we don’t need to rely on just oil anymore.’ And he’s giving major kudos to Dr. Alake for taking charge and making big changes in the mining sector. Dr. Alake is all about this 7-point agenda, and he’s on a mission to make solid minerals the top money-maker for the country. He’s tackling all the issues that are holding us back, from security problems to dealing with unlicensed miners and making sure local communities are on board. And get this, he’s got the full support of President Bola Tinubu. They’re reviewing policies and getting ready to make things happen. Dr. Alake is shouting it from the rooftops, ‘Nigeria is open for business!’ and he’s saying the mining sector is going to be the place to be for both local and foreign investors. It’s all happening, folks!
