In a bid to stop the stealing in mining industries where billions have been signed away and still in the ground, Oyo State Mineral Development Agency, in collaboration with Mineral Resources and Environmental Management Committee (MIREMCO), have embarked on verification of consent letters and community development agreement in the state mining sector.
The Director General (DG) of Oyo State Mineral Development Agency, Hon. Abiodun Oni, made this known recently while addressing journalists in his office at the Secretariat, Ibadan.
Hon. Oni stated that the reason for this exercise is because the state government, under the leadership of His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde FNSC, feels it is important to stop the stealing and irregularities going on with “our collective common wealth by some unscrupulous individual.”
He concluded that the state government, therefore, is ready to partner with all stakeholders to instill and sanitize Oyo State mining sector.
