The minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Oladele Alake. made this known during the 13th Induction ceremony and accreditation, certificate presentation organised by Council of Nigeria Mining Engineers and Geoscientists.

Alake said: ‘’The solid mineral is Nigeria’s huge source of wealth, hence, the need to ensure that professionals only are given operating licence in the mining Industry.’’

“As from today, no Mining Engineers or Geoscientists will be recognised by the Ministry of Solid Minerals without COMEG registration. If you are not registered, you are quack and all reports that come into the ministry must carry the stamp of the COMEG registration,’’ the minister declared according to a statement by Alaba Balogun, spokesperson of the ministry.

During his address at the induction ceremony, the minister said :’’ The era in which the country relies on oil for its economic development  is over. The present administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to looking inward for economic diversification. Hence the need to harness God’s given minerals to the country’’.
