MAN to establish Solid Mineral Plants in Six Geo-Political Zones
The Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN) has said that it would establish solid mineral plants in the six geopolitical zones of the country.
The Acting President of the association, Alhaji Musa Muhammad, disclosed this recently to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
Muhammad said that the association would start the establishment first in Kogi, adding that there were a good number of mineral resources in the state.
He said the effort was to show example of good leadership as well as support the government to promote the development of the country and that the establishment of the plants would also bring investors and create job opportunities to the youth.
According to him, the essence of establishing the plant in the zones is to attract more investment, thereby creating many opportunities for the people.
“The association wants to show good examples to our people as the effort will improve businesses and other opportunities in the zones.
“The establishment will bring great advantage to Nigerians and when it’s processed, the chain value will be achieved.
“Our aim is to be established in the six geo-political zones; the association is starting the move in Kogi state starting with solid minerals which are gold and processing plants,” he said.
