A member of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress, Tolu Bankole, says the Action Plan of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for the Solid Minerals Sector would be a game changer for the Nigerian economy.
Bankole, who gave the reassurance on Friday evening during a media parley in Abuja, disclosed that the place of solid minerals is key to the country’s socio-economic development.
According to him, the revival of the mining industry would be beneficial to locals and further improve government revenue. He said, “Our government will make it a priority to encourage industries vital to national development. This means growing our industrial base to provide jobs to an expanding urban population.
“Through the development of an industrial development master plan, we will extend tax and other credits as well as urban youth employment incentives to domestic manufacturing entities. It will also encourage domestic manufacturers and producers to add value to basic products thus, promoting value-added industry and production.
“In the North-West and North-East, new industrial hubs will focus on textiles. In the South-East and South-South, a new hub and dry port will focus investment on labour-intensive manufacturing.
