Traditional chieftains of many mining communities in Cross River State have expressed anger at how several mining firms, as well as illegal miners have
In Akamkpa and Biase Local Government areas, countless mining firms, as well as illegal miners prospect for natural resources, tearing open lands wantonly, but frequently do not declare what minerals they have discovered.
In an interview on the sideline of the workshop organised by the Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office in the federal ministry of mines and steel development, for stakeholders in the South-South on the adoption of the electronic mining Cadastre System, the clan head said, “The situation where they exploit our resources and leave us bare, we are not going to accept such deprivations any longer.”
According to him, they have nothing to show from the extraction of natural resources from their lands. Reacting, a Chief Executive Officer of a mining firm in the State, Lady Diamond Sekibo insisted that as licensed miners they do declare what minerals they prospect for, and hoped that ongoing meetings with the authorities to resolve many issues will be worthwhile.
