The Governor said because of the abundant natural resources in the State,  the Federal Government should designate the state as a non-oil producing state to also derive maximum benefits from its natural resources.

Meanwhile, he said the state is working on regulating the activities of mining in the state. He further stated that the State we’ll secure a license from the Federal Government to regulate mining activities within State.

Relatedly, the Governor directed the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Solid Minerals to facilitate the process of acquiring the license.

According to the Governor, the exploration of more mineral resources within the state has already commenced, adding that it would boost the internally generated revenue profile of the state.
