In a sweeping move aimed at revitalizing Nigeria’s mining sector, the Federal Government, acting through the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development, has revoked a staggering 924 dormant licenses. This bold step, following a similar revocation in November 2023, underscores the government’s commitment to combat license speculation and promote active mining. Minister Dele Alake emphasized the adherence to due process, providing license holders ample notification through official channels. The revocation, spanning exploration, mining, quarrying, and small-scale mining licenses, aims to allocate resources to those committed to productive mining activities, fostering economic growth and transparency in the sector.
