Obadiah Nkom, who also chair the fees review committee, stated that the committee recommended new rates that are affordable and will enhance the competitiveness of the fiscal regime of the mining sector in comparison with regional and global standards.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on behalf of the stakeholders, the President of the Miners Association of Nigeria, Dele Ayanleke commended the Minister for his efforts to put the mining sector on global frontburner, expressing support for ongoing reforms and plans to review fees payable by operators.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the minister to consider challenges faced by miners and ensure the rates are affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Other stakeholders in attendance include Representatives of Women In Mining, Gemstone Miners Association and top officials of the ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister noted that the government followed due process and extant laws guiding the action The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development, has announced plans to review rates of mining licenses and other sundry fees payable by mining operators in the country.
