Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has attributed the persistent spate of insecurity in most parts of the country to the failure to fully exploit the solid mineral resources with which the nation is abundantly blessed.
Masari, in a statement, lamented that some youths found a calling in crime due to unemployment. The governor’s spokesperson, Abdu Labaran, who issued the statement to newsmen yesterday, explained that his principal said that when he visited the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Olamilekan Adegbite, in Abuja.
“Governor Masari said that many youths have found a calling in criminality because of the failure to develop other sectors of the economy to keep them fully engaged in viable undertakings,” he stated. While soliciting the cooperation of the Mines and Steel Development Ministry in assisting Katsina to harness its huge deposit of various solid minerals, the governor told the minister that his administration had provided all the necessary ground to make Katsina an investor-friendly state.
