Glamtush reports that the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development, has revoked 1,633 minerals titles previously given to non-complying mining companies.
This online newspaper understands that the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, announced this during a press briefing on Tuesday in Abuja.
He said the licenses of the mineral title holders were revoked due to failure to pay mandatory annual service fees of N1,500 per cadastral unit.
He said, “The Mining Cadastre Office has recommended revoking 1,633 mineral titles: Exploration Licence, 536; Quarry Licence, 279; Small Scale Mining Licence, 787; and Mining Lease, 31.
“In line with the powers conferred on me by the NMMA 2007, Section 5 (a), I have approved the revocation of the 1,633 titles.”
Recall that in March this year, the Federal Government issued notice to 4,011 mineral title holders for alleged failure to pay mandatory annual service fees
