burying them under tons of rubbles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">He said the tragic incident underscored the urgent need for a holistic action to be taken to address the dangers faced and posed by local mining activities across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Sani said it was imperative to secure the mining sites to forestall future occurrences and avoid further loss of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Read Also: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/africatodaynewsnewyork.com\/2024\/01\/31\/tinubu-okays-499-licences-for-buying-selling-solid-minerals\/\">Tinubu Okays 499 Licences For Buying, Selling Solid Minerals<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201c<em>This will go a long way to ensure that mining activities are conducted safely and legally to prevent future tragedies and improve the overall well- being of miners across the country,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">He expressed worry that bodies of the deceased had yet to be recovered for proper burial by their respective families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">According to Sani, conscious efforts should be made by relevant agencies of government for the recovery of the bodies for burial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">He said given that Nigeria was desirous of diversifying its economy, adding that the mining sub-sector was lucrative enough and should be adequately exploited for the socio-economic development of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201c<em>As such, the appropriate authorities should as a matter of urgency and necessity, initiate thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident so as to identify any existing lapses.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em><span class=\"s2\">\u201cAs part of remedies to bring sanity to the system, strict regulations should be introduced in order to protect the lives of those who depend on this industry for their livelihood.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\"><em>\u201cIt is also apt for relevant committees of the National Assembly to step up their oversight of mining activities across the country for the purpose of harnessing the benefits that abound in the sector<\/em>,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The Senate, after observing a minute silence in honour of the victims, commended the Minister of Solid Minerals, Mr Dele Alake, for his swift response in monitoring the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">It also urged the Federal Government to come out with strict safety measures and regulation on mining activities in Nigeria in line with international best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The Senate also called for deployment of adequate security apparatus to the mining communities to maintain vigilance around mining areas to prevent further incursions and intrusion by informal miners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">It urged the National Emergency Management Agency and other relevant agencies of government to expedite actions on the recovery of the remains of the deceased in the catastrophe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">According to the upper chamber, such recovery will ensure that the bereaved families have final closure on their loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The Senate also urged the committee to accelerate the passage of the Mine Ranger Bill currently before the Senate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">On its part the House of Representatives called for urgent rescue of miners trapped in the mining pit. The resolution followed the adoption of a motion moved by Ismail Modibo (APC-Niger).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Presenting his motion, Modibo said all efforts to rescue the victims have so far proved in vain, necessitating immediate intervention by the federal and state distress response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">He expressed concern over the report of the death of many miners during the rescue operations, adding that there was need for the deployment of more special rescue experts to the site<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">This, according to him, is to prevent the victims from further loss of life, adding that the lack of adequate safety measures and emergency equipment by the mining companies led to the unfortunate situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Adopting the motion, the House called on the Ministry of Solid Minerals to deploy more Emergency Response Specialists to the mining site without delay, for effective and successful rescue operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">It urged its Committee on Solid Minerals to investigate the operational eligibility of Africa Minerals and Logistics Company Ltd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/africatodaynewsnewyork.com\/\"><strong>Africa Today News, New York<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Senate has mandated the Committee on Solid Minerals to immediately commence investigations into the cause of a rockslide in Farin Doki community, Shiroro Local Government of Niger State.
