Enugu State Government has taken a bold step in checkmating the activities of miners in the state with the sealing of illegal mining sites and sites without environmental impact certifications and mitigation plans.
Recall that Governor Peter Mbah’s administration had in June banned illegal mining activities in the state and also set up the state committee on mining activities last week to checkmate the menace.
