 The federal government has challenged investors, policy makers and other key players to join hands in the national mission to revitalize the nation's steel industry through investment in critical infrastructure. The Minister of State for Steel Development, Uba Amadou, made the call during the closing ceremony of the Fifth National Council on Mining and Mineral Resources Development Meeting in Elorin, the Quaristate Capital, where he noted that a steel industry remains the backbone of modern infrastructure upon which countless other sectors thrive. According to the Minister of State for Steel Development, Uba Amadou, building a thriving Niger steel industry is not just an economic imperative, but a national imperative, which is about creating jobs, laying the groundwork for a self-reliant and diversified economy. We must join hands in a national mission to revitalize our steel industry. We must invest in critical infrastructure. For modernizing mining operations, the building efficient steel means. We need to lay the groundwork for a competitive sector. We need to also embrace technology. Let us leverage an automation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable practices to create a modern, dynamic steel industry that meets the demands of the future. The need to diversify the economy and harness potentials in the solid mineral sector and other sectors cannot be emphasized and require the agency of now. The Chairman House Committee on Solid Minerals, Gaza Jonathan Befri, pleaded with the Nigerian Minerals Governors Forum to stop issuing executive orders with regards to mining in the country and adopt Niger Minerals and Mining Act 2007 in order to create synergy between the three types of government. Please, you can't stop issuing executive orders with regards to mining. Instead, take advantage of Miremco, which is a body in the law that enables you and gives you the full resources. For us in EACC, we want to use quora as a blueprint where other states can copy the likes of other states around Nassau and all other places where you have the mining sectors. We are committed to doing after every illegal miners. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
