In fulfillment of a major plank of my 7-point agenda to create a new security architecture to secure mining sites, we unveiled a 2,200-strong Mines Marshal to smoke out illegal miners and all those who flout our nation's mining laws.

I formally received the marshals drawn from the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and charged them to stem theft and all nefarious activities around our mineral resources to ensure we reap maximum benefits from our God-given resources.

The Mines Marshal, as part of the new security architecture, will have their command and control domiciled in the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development (MSMD), with an initial 60 operatives deployed in each state and the FCT. I commend my interior counterpart Hon. Olubunmi Tunji -Ojo for working tirelessly with my ministry to achieve this feat, and I am pleased to launch the first batch of this security apparatus today.

The Mines Marshal, an inter-agency security outfit, will also include special operatives from other security agencies and will operate with a focus on technological advancements.

Dele Alake, Minister of Solid Minerals, FRN.

The Chinese are ed and in partnership with licensed miners in Nigeria.

Our laws favour Nigerian citizens to hold mining licenses so foreigners will be at the mercy of the locals.

The Chinese are in it to make money just like the locals. Having the Chinese or other foreigners and having the bandits, it's obvious the one which can be tolerated.

Mine Marshall is a good one but please replace them through new recruitment because they are not enough already. I just hope these guys won't be colliding with illegal miners to keep stealing our natural resources

Some Chinese are not ed. There are lots of ilegal Chinese miners of gold along the Ife/Ilesha axis.

A good start but they need to be fully armed to face bandits dominated mining sites. Kudos to Mr Alake implementing one of his in!tiatives.

Nice development sha....
But just like most navy personnel are the managing directors of illegal oil bunkering activities after being delegated to stop the menace,it's note worthy to state that a new line of business has been established for some greedy civil defense crooks to manage. Most Nigerians have this inate insatiable genes in them, they just can't stop being corrupt,probably because the penalty for corruption is non existent or outrightly laughable (steal #200billion,get arrested by FECC,pay #20million....okpadi.ooo). If we start executing corrupt officials, cutting off the head to be precise, Nigeria would rise again!

What happened to setting up a committee instead of creating another agency?
With time, they will start recruiting their own.

Very commendable move. This is will enable focused investigation and arrest of individuals breaking the law and stealing solid natural materials. Let's hope the Nigerian factor of under table payment won't cause them to compromise.
