Clear Mining Policies: Key to Taraba’s Economic Growth

I’ve followed recent announcements on mining activity in Taraba State with concern. Conflicting statements about Executive Order No. 5 have created uncertainty among investors and host communities. Mining thrives on clear regulations and consistent enforcement. Sudden suspensions risk scaring away long-term capital and slowing local development. Taraba holds deposits of lithium, gold, tin and other strategic minerals. Local scouts and artisans drive early discoveries, and their work must be supported by stable policies. The focus should be on strengthening oversight, engaging stakeholders, eliminating illegal operations and preserving licence tenure. Clear and fair regulations will attract investment, create jobs and boost revenue for Taraba and Nigeria.
