In a significant development, miners have expressed their support for the Federal Government and the government of Kogi State in their efforts to clamp down on illegal mining activities.
This collaboration between the government and the mining community underscores a shared commitment to promoting responsible and lawful mining practices while addressing the challenges posed by illegal mining operations.
