Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will today hold his campaign train to Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, where he is billed to hold a town hall meeting with the mining community.
Nasarawa State is a major mining hub for many solid minerals in Nigeria, with deposits of Gold, Barite, Coal, Clay, Lead-Zinc, Sault, Gemstone, Silica Sand, Iron Ore, Granite, Tantalite, Marble, Mica, Cassiterite, Limestone and Aquamarine.
The APC presidential candidate’s visit to Nasarawa State, according to a state by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, is part of his strategic engagement with players in key sectors of the economy.
The director, Media & Publicity, of the APC presidential campaign council, in a statement he issued on Wednesday, noted that Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Sule, “will lead other APC Governors, Presidential Campaign Council members, party leaders and supporters to the Town Hall meeting that is scheduled to hold at the Government House Banquet Hall.”
Onanuga recalled that on Monday, Tinubu met with farmers and agro-commodity traders in Minna where he shared his action plan for the transformation of agriculture.
“At the meeting with the mining community, Tinubu will unfold his plan to make mining a major plank of Nigeria’s economic diversification agenda as laid out in his policy document tagged ‘Action Plan for a Better Nigeria’.
