Osun State Government says it is taking proactive steps to ensure safety of the people and prevent environmental degradation.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Mining and Mineral Matters, Professor Lukman Jimoda stated this in an interview with Radio Nigeria in Osogbo.
Professor Jimoda said the present administration was working to sanitize the mining sector in the state and to ensure the environment is secured.
He pointed out that any company that plans to mine in the state must present the modalities for environmental management and environmental audit which must be done in conjunction with National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency, NESREA.
Professor Jimoda said the sector is being reorganized to generate more revenue for the state.
He added that the ministry will engage in constant monitoring of the mining activities in the state so as to prevent illegal miners from stealing the state resources and destroying the environment.
