[00:06:36] Mining remains a major source of livelihood for hundreds of youth
[00:06:40] and women in plateau state. but the dangers associated with
[00:06:44] unregulated operations continue to raise concerns,
[00:06:48] following series of fatal mining accidents and attacks in
[00:06:52] plateau and other parts the country, the plateau state government says
[00:06:55] it is taking strategic steps to reorganize the sector for
[00:06:59] improved safety, efficiency and economic benefits, our
[00:07:03] correspondent percy dabang reports
[00:07:06] every
[00:07:10] day hundreds of youths and women look to mining site across
[00:07:13] plateau state to extract in and culombite and other mineral
[00:07:17] resources providing a source of livelihoods for
[00:07:20] many. while some minors depend on
[00:07:24] manual labor, others use heavy equipment including
[00:07:28] excavators to extract the
[00:07:30] minerals.
[00:07:34] but these activities come with serious risk including
[00:07:37] collapsing pet, flooding and threats to critical
[00:07:41] infrastructure.
[00:07:44] mining close to high tension electricity transmission lines thighten
[00:07:48] the supporting structures in danger miners surrounding
[00:07:52] communities and national assets. the dangers are reflected in
[00:07:56] recent reports which identified at least 29 deads in five
[00:08:00] mining accidents and 13 deaths in four attacks on mining
[00:08:03] sights across the country in the past the months in
[00:08:07] Niger state 37 suspected illegal miners also died
[00:08:11] in the custody of than indurance security and civil defense core,
[00:08:15] although the cost the dead is yet to be conclusively
[00:08:18] established, to
[00:08:22] address these concerns, the plateau state commissioner for environment,
[00:08:26] climate change and solid minerals alongside mining experts
[00:08:30] visited some mining sit in just south local government area to
[00:08:33] inspect operations and interact with artisanal
[00:08:36] miners, we see how we should coordinate all these local
[00:08:40] miners so that we will uh prevent what happened
[00:08:44] in Niger state and
[00:08:45] then kby state and also the accident happened
[00:08:48] within
[00:08:49] Basa uh Barack and ladi and bocos the accident and then the the
[00:08:53] bandit th as well too so if we don't synergize with those local artisan
[00:08:57] miners there is no how we understand
[00:08:58] what is going on the government want to take charge the
[00:09:02] artisanship these mining people these mining operations are done in
[00:09:06] localities whereby it affects the people the
[00:09:09] states so when we have this synergy and definitely
[00:09:13] is going to be a win
[00:09:14] situation, the
[00:09:18] miners also highlights the support they need from the government to improve
[00:09:22] their operations. we are not finding it easy, it
[00:09:26] is so difficult and later on you not see
[00:09:29] what you gain or you just have a small change
[00:09:33] which is not helpful. with the government being
[00:09:37] involved, maybe we reduce the risk
[00:09:40] the accident.
[00:09:45] on the mining sites as the government moves to bring miners into a more organized
[00:09:49] framework, the expectation is that with stronger regulations,
[00:09:53] proper monitoring and continuous engagement, mining will become safer
[00:09:57] and further prevent
[00:09:58] loss of lives.
[00:09:59] from the gudaview mining site in just north local government area of plateau
[00:10:02] state, persie dabang, channels television
[00:10:05] news. governor Ubasani of
[00:10:09] Kajuna state is calling on northern political
[00:10:12] leaders uh to develop a common development blueprint
[00:10:16] to address the region's challenges, particularly the high
[00:10:20] number of out of school children, maternal and child mortality
[00:10:24] and adequate access to quality health care. the
[00:10:28] governor made the call when he received the leadership the Sir Amadu
[00:10:32] Belo Memorial Foundation who paid him a kurtsy visit at
[00:10:36] the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House in
[00:10:39] Kaduna. The challenges of
[00:10:42] education, healthcare and human capital development in northern
[00:10:45] Nigeria have continued to raise concerns among stakeholders
[00:10:49] with Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State calling for a coordinated
[00:10:53] approach to address
[00:10:55] situation.
[00:10:58] Receiving the leadership the Sir Emedu Bello Memorial
[00:11:01] Foundation, the governor urges northern political leaders to look
[00:11:05] beyond the struggle for political power and focus on developing
[00:11:09] a common agenda that will improve the lives the
[00:11:12] people. He identifies the
[00:11:16] high number of out of school children, the shortage of skill-based
[00:11:20] education and inadequate healthcare delivery is major
[00:11:24] challenges. requiring urgent and collective action.
[00:11:28] the last time we check from the Unicef statistics, we are
[00:11:32] talking about 18 million people are structured in the whole of
[00:11:35] Nigeria, and out the 18 million,
[00:11:38] 70% are domicide here in Nigeria. In
[00:11:42] Nigeria, what holisted have done a
[00:11:44] holistic, we have come with
[00:11:48] a holistic process in ad school children because our
[00:11:51] household mapping exercise. the federal government
[00:11:55] have seen it and they have realized that we have reached
[00:11:59] at least to 600
[00:12:01] 363 households to be able to
[00:12:05] identify 55000 other school children in kaduna
[00:12:09] state. earlier, the foundations delegation led by former Nija
[00:12:13] state governor Mr. Babangida aliu thanks the Kaduna
[00:12:17] state government for its commitment to improving education and
[00:12:21] primary healthcare urging other states to follow suit.
[00:12:25] how can we stop begging, particularly
[00:12:28] children that are supposed to be in school, begging on our
[00:12:32] streets? we hope that you will
[00:12:36] use your usual good nature to really
[00:12:39] encourage and bring about
[00:12:43] stopping the begging so that every child
[00:12:46] that should go to school is attending
[00:12:49] schools. as the meeting comes to an end, governor sunny
[00:12:53] says
[00:12:54] the challenges confront. Northern Nigeria cannot be tackled in
[00:12:57] isolation, underscoring the need for a coordinated
[00:13:01] regional approach driven by common development
[00:13:04] agenda. The
[00:13:08] Zampara state government has defended a statement by governor
[00:13:12] Dalda Lawal that his administration has executed
[00:13:15] projects worth 20 billion naire each the 14
[00:13:19] local government areas the state. The state's accountant
[00:13:23] general Mr. Akilu Bungudu disclosed
[00:13:27] this during the budget performance and accountability meeting
[00:13:31] to review revenue generation, expenditure and the
[00:13:34] implementation of projects under the state's
[00:13:37] 2025 fiscal year. He noted that
[00:13:41] all the projects were reflected in the budget, adding that
[00:13:44] 72% the budget was airmarked for capital
[00:13:48] expenditure, while the remaining 28% was
[00:13:51] allocated to recurrent expenditure. Among the projects.
[00:13:55] identified include road infrastructure, school
[00:13:58] projects, modern medical research center, smart
[00:14:02] city, food production initiatives, hospitals, the
[00:14:06] gosol international conference center and the gosol international
[00:14:10] sports
[00:14:10] center,
[00:14:17] a state like this or every state you try to see, you make sure
[00:14:21] you spread projects across.
[00:14:25] uh the 14 local governments we have now we started
[00:14:29] with what we call the urban uh
[00:14:32] renewal which is centered around the state capital when you
[00:14:36] come your state capital should be in
[00:14:40] tax then this so when we started like last year there was
[00:14:44] a lot of push from local governments that are the
[00:14:48] governor the governor and government are only working in gusou we said
[00:14:51] yes we are not only working in gusao but agree you have
[00:14:55] concentrated much effort in Guso and that is
[00:14:59] just to make the uh capital city over
[00:15:02] renewal uh a reality we have done that in
[00:15:06] 2025 in 2026 lot of projects were
[00:15:09] pushed outside the state capital from
[00:15:13] bungudu to zurmi to kauran namoda
[00:15:16] to gumi to mafara to
[00:15:20] bakura every local government like i mentioned during my
[00:15:24] speech my first the executive governor mentioned that there is no local
[00:15:27] government that he has not done project almost 20 billion and i want
[00:15:31] to tell people i have records only state funds
[00:15:35] apart from works that are being done. at local government
[00:15:38] level, let's take
[00:15:42] a break
[00:15:56] rising and we are rising with
[00:15:59] her, every day there's a new story, new

[00:16:29] p.m. only on Channel's
[00:16:31] Television.
[00:16:45] Welcome back, the register and chief executive officer the
[00:16:49] Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Dr. Ronge
[00:16:53] Shombor has emphasized that empowering teachers
[00:16:56] through continuous professional development is critical priority
[00:17:00] that requires urgent attention to improve the quality of
[00:17:04] Nigeria's educational sixth sector a position to
[00:17:08] teacher development, Dr. Shoyombo underscored the urgent need
[00:17:11] to strengthen quality assurance systems and invest in
[00:17:15] leadership training across the sector, drawing on
[00:17:19] successful educational models such as England's office
[00:17:22] for standards in education, she stressed that highly
[00:17:26] competent and well-trained quality assurance officers are
[00:17:30] essential to driving meaningful school improvement, postering
[00:17:33] accountability and supporting educational excellence.
[00:17:41] Yes, I
[00:17:42] think um, empowering teachers is a core area
[00:17:46] that everybody has got to look at, because I must
[00:17:49] say um, in the past people have done a lot on infrastructure,
[00:17:53] renovations of schools, um, getting resources, if I
[00:17:57] use ok, I don't know if you remember that
[00:17:59] there was a particular exercise where we use our, but teachers were not
[00:18:03] carried along, and that was what failed that system, so there's
[00:18:07] a... for us to be very very intentional with
[00:18:11] mandatory continuous professional development for all our
[00:18:14] teachers, another thing is quality assurance should be given
[00:18:18] enough attention, we need to have good practitioners,
[00:18:22] exemplary officers, because who is going to lead your quality
[00:18:25] assurance, it matters, because what transformed education in
[00:18:29] England is all about quality assurance offset, offset is coming to your
[00:18:33] school, you don't mess up, they know what they're looking for, they're not looking for
[00:18:36] money, looking for how they can actually partner with you and
[00:18:40] move education better. another thing will be number three will be for
[00:18:44] me will be leadership and management, because if we
[00:18:48] improve teachers across board in Nigeria, if we don't improve our
[00:18:52] school leaders, then we have missed it. um, school
[00:18:55] leaders must be trained um, they must
[00:18:59] be specially trained to lead our schools. i'm talking
[00:19:03] of principals, i'm talking of school head teachers, i'm talking of...
[00:19:07] even
[00:19:07] propritors
[00:19:11] to catch the full interview, watch news night by 9 pm on
[00:19:15] Monday on all channels television
[00:19:18] platforms.
[00:19:34] In business news, in preparation for the world food. food day
[00:19:38] celebration, concerned authorities have been advised on the
[00:19:41] tracking of our food from where it is being produced to the
[00:19:45] end chain of consumption. this advise is coming from Mr. Tunde
[00:19:49] Banjoku, managing director of Bo Farms Limited and
[00:19:53] chairman Agric Group the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and
[00:19:56] Industry, LCCI. He said this during our business
[00:20:00] morning program. Where I
[00:20:04] think we have the b the issue is the area of
[00:20:07] force ripening of foods and fruits by marketers and
[00:20:11] middlemen, i think that's where the real issue when it comes to nourishing
[00:20:15] products, i think we will have to go back to what the EU is now
[00:20:19] talking about, wel have to track our food from where it's been
[00:20:22] produced to the last mile of consumption, so we want to
[00:20:26] know what you are selling to us, where is it coming from, so that if there's an
[00:20:30] issue we know what to hold, and we probably will have to
[00:20:34] regulate the retailers now.
[00:20:38] because most of us patronize those selling by the road
[00:20:41] sides most times because we'll have to probably remove
[00:20:44] them, if they are not complying then we should have
[00:20:48] regulators, we have... market leaders
[00:20:51] and you ask yourself what are their roles
[00:20:54] in all of this? they collect taxes from this
[00:20:58] people, yet they are not interested in the quality of what they are
[00:21:01] selling, so i think we are getting to that stage, for example
[00:21:05] by my use i may use legos state, legos state is having some market
[00:21:09] ups around town, i think other states should start having
[00:21:13] such, so let's go to such regulated market, because
[00:21:17] the farmers bring directly from the farms. to such
[00:21:21] market. Friday,
[00:21:24] October 9, 2026, marks the 30th
[00:21:28] anniversary of World Egg Day 2026, which was
[00:21:32] first established in Vienna in 1996. The
[00:21:35] day is said to highlight eggs as a complete and
[00:21:39] accessible source of high-level protein. The Ogun
[00:21:42] State Chapter of Pultry Association of Nigeria joined the
[00:21:46] celebration by holding conversations on empowering their...
[00:21:50] Beyond
[00:21:51] technology.
