Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, says Nigeria has 44 minerals that are demanded for globally.<\/p>\n

Alake, who spoke when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Solid Minerals said the country has no data on the quantities of those minerals.<\/p>\n

His words: \u201cPrevious work in the geo-data section has shown that we have about 44 minerals that are in demand, globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we do not have data that will tell us the quantum of what we have across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the investors or operators are doing now are partly speculative, and no big player will come into our sector, based on speculation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of these are contingent on the geo-scientific data we can generate, and these things don\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have equipment locally, we don\u2019t have certain technical personnel. This means that we rely on international assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means, distinguished senators, that we need your assistance in terms of budgetary allocation.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, for Nigeria to harness its mineral resources and increase its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it must play by some rules.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must put in place some enduring infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo tackle illegal mining and other sharp practices, we must put in place a pre-emptive strategy that will reduce the proclivity to commit such vices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is what my team and I decided to do when I came in through a seven-point agenda, which I announced to the world and is contained in the document I passed to you,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
