SECRETS EXPOSED!! Northern Senators Silent as Oshlomole Sounds Alarm on Politicians Linked to Illegal Gold Mining
Amid rising concerns over illegal gold mining in Nigeria’ s Northern region, the silence of Northern senators has been notably pronounced. The gravity of this issue was highlighted by Osole, a key figure, who emphasized the severe consequences of such unlawful activities in a recent address. Osole declared, “Illegal gold mining is rampant, with proceeds being smuggled out of the country to undermine our political and security systems. His frustration was evident as he criticized the inaction of Northern senators, stressing the significant impact of these illegal operations on their constituencies.
Osole referenced reports from President Buhari’s tenure, detailing the smuggling of illegally mined gold to Dubai via private jets for substantial profits. This unchecked exploitation not only depletes Nigeria’ s resources but also exacerbates insecurity in the North. He did not shy away from alleging that certain politicians benefit from these activities, explaining their reluctance to tackle the issue.
Despite the silence from Northern senators, Osole and concerned citizens have called for stringent regulations. They argue that the lack of oversight in gold mining is directly linked to 70-75% of Nigeria’ s Insecurity. Osole emphasized the need for comprehensive legislation, including severe penalties for illegal miners, to protect national assets and restore order.
Supporting the call for regulation, some senators contend that a well- structured gold industry could significantly boost Nigeria’s revenue and diversify its economy. They advocate for the protection and utilization of the country’s abundant gold resources for national benefit.
The Senate is currently debating a new bill aimed at regulating gold mining, which underscores these concerns. The proposed legislation seeks to establish a legal and institutional framework to manage gold reserves, enhance the country’s currency value, and hedge against inflation. The bill has garnered support from various senators and is seen as a crucial step towards stabilizing Nigeria’s economy and improving its global economic standing.
In conclusion, the silence of Northern senators on illegal gold mining has sparked significant alarm and criticism. Advocates for change are urgently calling for robust regulatory measures to combat rampant illegal. mining, safeguard national resources, and strengthen Nigeria’s economic stability. As Naija247news continues to monitor these developments, the urgency for action remains critical in addressing this pressing issue.
