vis a vis the proposed security infrastructure that will tackle and nip it in the bud. As a way forward, he recommended that the Ministry should go a step further to strengthen its regulatory function, noting, this will sanitize the mining sector of the economy.

In his own comment, Prof. Ibrahim Garba, former Director-General of Mining Cadastre Office, stated that there had been roadmaps of 2012 and 2016 initiated by previous Ministers, ostensibly made to reform and advance the sector.

Continuing, Prof. Garba said the Minister of Solid Minerals can consider previous roadmaps for their gainful benefits to the sector. Some of the ideas and suggestions proferred by the former director general include initiating policies and laws to address specific challenges, security of mineral rights and permits, invest in exploration activities to generate vintage information for investors and replicating the gains and strengths of the Petroleum sector in the mining sector.
