 The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Right Honourable Tajidina Bers, has praised the renewed vigor in the large-scale exploitation of the Nigerian solid mineral sector. The Speaker made these observations at the Public Policy Dialogue on Solid Minerals organized by the House of Representatives Committee on Solid Minerals in Apuja on Monday. The solid mineral sector has been touted as the next big thing that can positively transform Nigeria's economy into not only a self-sustainable economy, but that reach is capable of solving multiple issues of infrastructural development and job creation for the citizenry. Let us leverage the power of partnerships. This is possible to get a few from the big stages. This sector means the strategic intervention as part of the leadership of the House, presiding over the self-sustainable economy to give that to you. The time for action is now. Carlos says, unfortunately, the way the sector is being run today is encouraging insecurity across the country. There are some quarters back between Brazil and Brazil, citing that 80% of mining in Nigeria is carried out. Speaking in similar vein, the governor of Nassarara State, His Excellency Abdulaz Sule, says the country has over 40 mineral resources untapped in commercial quantity across the country, which has the potential of replacing crude oil as the country's highest foreign exchange, ENA, if well managed. Very serious about the future of Nigeria, the future economic situation of Nigeria, we must reform what we call the solid mineral sector. And this reform must come in form of the policies, because I was looking at the document you have. You have so many policies that you are going to look at. So we must look at those policies. I will form them where it has to benefit Nigeria. If we don't do that, we'll just be joking and then make it important. You say so many governors just like that. Professor Say, how many governors I should include in the document? Yes. And the other chairman of committee said the proposed solid minerals bill to be presented before the House will address the challenges the sector had experienced over the years. The second one. The good priority areas for the committee are industrialization, security, geosynthetics, borders to tenderization, environment and human capital development. Focusing to understand the house in the sector and the distribution.
