The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr Dele Alake, has given the Mineral Resources and Environmental Management Committee a 90-day ultimatum to improve its performance or face severe sanctions.

Alake, who spoke at the 2024 Annual General Meeting of MIREMCO Chairmen, expressed his dissatisfaction with the agency’s current revenue performance, stressing that it was not satisfactory.

He emphasized that it is the committee’s essential responsibility to interface between subnational, local communities, operators and the government to minimize cases of conflicts.

This was revealed in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, SegunTomori in Abuja.
