The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has suspended all mining activities by firms operating on the state’s mining licences.
Ever since his assumption of office on the 27th of November 2022, Governor Adeleke has been reconfiguring the imprints of his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, confirmed this new development in a statement released on Wednesday in Osogbo.
Via the statement, the governor mandated the affected companies to report to the state’s assets recovery committee with copies of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the state government.
He requested all operators to report to the Committee on Assets Verification and Recovery chaired by Dr B.T Salami with copies of their Memorandum of Understanding which governs their relationship with the state government on Monday, 19th of December, 2022 by 12 pm.
However, the suspension of the operators is to remain in force until the conclusion of the ongoing review of the MOU between the state as the owner of the licences and the operators.
