Shehu Sani, the Senator
representing Kaduna Central, has reacted to decision by Nigerian Government to
suspend mining activities in Zamfara State.
The federal government through
the acting IGP Adamu Mohammaed had on Sunday announced the suspension of mining
activities in the state and threatened to revoke licenses of violators of the
order.
The government also ordered all
foreigners engaged in mining activities to leave the area within 48 hours as
part of measures to check banditry in the state.
Reacting, Sani on his Twitter
page commended the government over the new development.
However, Sani noted that the
suspension of mining activities in Zamfara was not a solution to putting an end
to banditry in the state.
He wrote: “Suspension of mining
activities is a good step in ending illegal mining; but a non starter in ending
banditry.
“The nation is at war; the moral,
historical and constitutional calling at times like this is for the leadership
to frontally rise to the occasion in defence of this republic.”
