“Today, Nigeria is dependent on crude oil as its major source of wealth. However, the world does not want crude oil anymore. Now they want solar energy, hydropower, and other sources of power that are not from oil.
“So at this time, we are witnessing the gradual passing away of the oil and gas sector in the globe, and when it finally fades out, Nigeria will be left with only two means of wealth creation- mining and Agriculture. Nigeria’s mining sector will soon become more wealthy and prosperous than the Oil and Gas sector ever was in Nigeria.
“The question is, when the sector finally takes the front seat, who will call the shots and milking the benefits? When I look at statistics, of all the mainstream miners in Nigeria today, only 6.8% are women, the remaining 94% are men. “So, the women in the mining sector today are a drop out of an ocean, and the few women in the sector are being edged out of the game by gender blind laws and by misogynists.”All rights reserved.
