00:06:09mining remains a major source of livelihood for hundreds of youths and men in
00:06:12plato state, but the dangers associated with unregulated operations
00:06:16continue to raise concern, and following series of fatal mining
00:06:20incidents and attacks in plateau state and other parts the country.
00:06:24the plateau state government says that
00:06:25it is now taking strategic steps to reorganize the sector for improved
00:06:29safety, efficiency and economic benefits. our correspondents

00:06:38every day, hundreds of youths and women troop to mine insight across
00:06:42platstate to extract tin and culombite and other mineral
00:06:46resources providing a source of livelihood for
00:06:49many. while some miners depend on
00:06:53manual labor, others use heavy equipment including
00:06:56excavators to extract the
00:06:58minerals.
00:07:02but these activities come with serious risk including
00:07:06collapsing peat, flooding
00:07:08and threats to critical infrastructure.
00:07:13mining close to high tension electricity transmission lines
00:07:16threaten the supporting structures invering miners surrounding
00:07:20communities and national assets. the dangers are reflected in
00:07:24recent reports which identified at least 29 deads in five
00:07:28mining accidents and 13 deaths in four attacks on mining
00:07:32sites across the country in the past three months. in
00:07:36nid state 37 suspected illegal miners also died
00:07:40in the custody the Nangeran Security and defense core,
00:07:44although the cost the dead is yet to be conclusively
00:07:47established. To
00:07:51address these concerns, the plateau state commissioner for environment,
00:07:55climate change and solid minerals alongside mining experts
00:07:58visited some mining sit in just south local government area to
00:08:02inspect operations and interact with artisanal
00:08:05miners. We see how we should coordinate all these local
00:08:09miners so that we will pr. what happened in
00:08:13Niger state and
00:08:14then kby state and also the accident happen within Basa
00:08:18uh back and ladi and boss the accident and then the
00:08:21the bandit th as well too
00:08:23so if we don't synergize with those local artisan miners there is no how we understand
00:08:27what is going on the government want to take charge the
00:08:31artisan ship these mining people these mining operations are done in
00:08:35localities where by it affects the people the
00:08:38states so when we have this synergy and cooperation definitely is
00:08:42going to be a win
00:08:43situation, the
00:08:47miners also highlighted the support they need from the government to
00:08:50improve their operations. we are not finding it
00:08:53easy, it is so difficult and later
00:08:57on you not see what you gain or you just have a small
00:09:01change, which is not helpful. with
00:09:05the government being involved, maybe we reduce the risk
00:09:09of uh the accidents in the... mining
00:09:12sites as the government moves to bring miners into a more
00:09:16organized framework, the expectation is that with stronger
00:09:19regulations, proper monitoring and continuous engagement, mining
00:09:23will become safer and further prevent loss of lives. From the
