Borno State Government Bans Mining Activities In The State

The Borno State Government has placed a ban on all mining activities in the state due to the fragile security situation in the state.

The government is working on mapping and securing the mine sites with a view to ensuring law, order, and the safety of lives. Also, the Government is working on a governance protocol for the mining sector in the State. The government will soon issue a code of conduct and standard operating procedure for the mining value chain to guide the sector.

All stakeholders in the mining sector in Borno State should abide by this ban unfailingly. Any violation will attract the wrath of the law.
