FG To Commence Mining Operations In Enugu

The Federal Government says it has finalised plans with South African investors to commence mining operations at the abandoned coal mines in Enugu.

The Director General, Voice of Nigeria, Osita Okechukwu who led South African investors Simang Group said the new development is in fulfillment of President Muhammadu Buhari’s promises made to Igbos to revamp coal for power generation.

Which is why the investors are in Enugu to meet with the Governor and discuss modalities of operations

The Managing Director of the company, Andrew Mosangwa emphasised on the need for local partnership and its importance to job creation and power generation.

The Governor of the state, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi expressed his readiness to partner with the group for the realisation of the goal.

Coal mining in Nigeria since the discovery of oil has been relegated as a source of revenue and power generation but has returned on the front burner of both state and Federal Government.
