The measure also included efforts towards enforcing Executive Order 001 of 2023, signaling a comprehensive crackdown on unauthorised mining activities and non-compliance with regulatory frameworks.

Director-General of the Oyo State Mineral Development Agency (OYSMIDA), Mr. Abiodun Oni, at the launching, declared that the state would no longer tolerate illegal mining activities.

He said, “The joint taskforce has come to stay in Oyo State. Anyone found engaging in illegal mining will be held accountable and prosecuted. The law will take its full course.”

He commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his visionary leadership and unwavering support in ensuring the security of Oyo State residents and protection of the state’s natural resources.

Oni also urged residents to report suspicious activities, saying, “If you see something, say something. We must all join hands to curb this menace.”

He added that Oyo State government was providing amenities such as a borehole to serve the local community.

The General Manager of OYSMIDA, Mrs. Olufunke Omidiran described the initiative as a strategic response to the growing threat of illegal mining.

Also, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Migrant and Homeland Security, ACG Segun Adegoke (rtd), highlighted the link between illegal mining and organised crime, including banditry and kidnapping.

He said, “This joint taskforce includes all constitutionally recognised security agencies, including the Amotekun Corps in Oyo State is tackling the problem head-on”.

Meanwhile, Oyo State government has commenced strict enforcement of Executive Order 001 of 2023 mandating mining stakeholders and host communities to comply with signing Consent Letters and Community Development Agreements (CDAs) as stipulated by the Nigerian Mining Act.

The Olu of Igboora, Oba Jimoh Olajide Titiloye at the forum expressed the traditional institutions’ readiness to support the government’s efforts.

“Although mining is on the Federal Exclusive List, our communities must still benefit. Miners must register with the State and enter into CDAs before obtaining community consent,” Oba Titiloye noted.
