He added that the council as part of its efforts in curbing unemployment had agreed to tackle the problem in the moribund Niger Cement Company. “We have also decided to revisit coal-mining activities in the zone. We are encouraging our business leaders to exploit the possibility of reactivating the Coal Mining. This will create jobs and also increase the nation’s GDP.”
The council agreed to discuss with state governors in the region to provide a village for their resettlement because they were prepared to come over to develop the region, he said.
