00:06:36Mining remains a major source of livelihood for hundreds of youth
00:06:40and women in plateau state. but the dangers associated with
00:06:44unregulated operations continue to raise concerns,
00:06:48following series of fatal mining accidents and attacks in
00:06:52plateau and other parts the country, the plateau state government says
00:06:55it is taking strategic steps to reorganize the sector for
00:06:59improved safety, efficiency and economic benefits, our
00:07:03correspondent percy dabang reports
00:07:06every
00:07:10day hundreds of youths and women look to mining site across
00:07:13plateau state to extract in and culombite and other mineral
00:07:17resources providing a source of livelihoods for
00:07:20many. while some minors depend on
00:07:24manual labor, others use heavy equipment including
00:07:28excavators to extract the
00:07:30minerals.
00:07:34but these activities come with serious risk including
00:07:37collapsing pet, flooding and threats to critical
00:07:41infrastructure.
00:07:44mining close to high tension electricity transmission lines thighten
00:07:48the supporting structures in danger miners surrounding
00:07:52communities and national assets. the dangers are reflected in
00:07:56recent reports which identified at least 29 deads in five
00:08:00mining accidents and 13 deaths in four attacks on mining
00:08:03sights across the country in the past the months in
00:08:07Niger state 37 suspected illegal miners also died
00:08:11in the custody of than indurance security and civil defense core,
00:08:15although the cost the dead is yet to be conclusively
00:08:18established, to
00:08:22address these concerns, the plateau state commissioner for environment,
00:08:26climate change and solid minerals alongside mining experts
00:08:30visited some mining sit in just south local government area to
00:08:33inspect operations and interact with artisanal
00:08:36miners, we see how we should coordinate all these local
00:08:40miners so that we will uh prevent what happened
00:08:44in Niger state and
00:08:45then kby state and also the accident happened
00:08:48within
00:08:49Basa uh Barack and ladi and bocos the accident and then the the
00:08:53bandit th as well too so if we don't synergize with those local artisan
00:08:57miners there is no how we understand
00:08:58what is going on the government want to take charge the
00:09:02artisanship these mining people these mining operations are done in
00:09:06localities whereby it affects the people the
00:09:09states so when we have this synergy and definitely
00:09:13is going to be a win
00:09:14situation, the
00:09:18miners also highlights the support they need from the government to improve
00:09:22their operations. we are not finding it easy, it
00:09:26is so difficult and later on you not see
00:09:29what you gain or you just have a small change
00:09:33which is not helpful. with the government being
00:09:37involved, maybe we reduce the risk
00:09:40the accident.
00:09:45on the mining sites as the government moves to bring miners into a more organized
00:09:49framework, the expectation is that with stronger regulations,
00:09:53proper monitoring and continuous engagement, mining will become safer
00:09:57and further prevent
00:09:58loss of lives.
00:09:59from the gudaview mining site in just north local government area of plateau

00:11:42Nigeria, what holisted have done a
00:11:44holistic, we have come with
00:11:48a holistic process in ad school children because our
00:11:51household mapping exercise. the federal government

00:12:28children that are supposed to be in school, begging on our
00:12:32streets? we hope that you will
00:12:36use your usual good nature to really
00:12:39encourage and bring about
00:12:43stopping the begging so that every child
00:12:46that should go to school is attending

00:13:15projects worth 20 billion naire each the 14

00:14:17a state like this or every state you try to see, you make sure
00:14:21you spread projects across.
00:14:25uh the 14 local governments we have now we started
00:14:29with what we call the urban uh
00:14:32renewal which is centered around the state capital when you
00:14:36come your state capital should be in
00:14:40tax then this so when we started like last year there was
00:14:44a lot of push from local governments that are the
00:14:48governor the governor and government are only working in gusou we said
00:14:51yes we are not only working in gusao but agree you have
00:14:55concentrated much effort in Guso and that is
00:14:59just to make the uh capital city over
00:15:02renewal uh a reality we have done that in
00:15:062025 in 2026 lot of projects were
00:15:09pushed outside the state capital from
00:15:13bungudu to zurmi to kauran namoda
00:15:16to gumi to mafara to
00:15:20bakura every local government like i mentioned during my

00:15:27government that he has not done project almost 20 billion and i want
00:15:31to tell people i have records only state funds

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