Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku has called for constitutional review as it concerns mining rights.
Mining is currently mostly under the Federal Government’s control under the law, but the Governor believes the exclusivity is worrisome and should be reviewed to promote the development of the sector.
He says Governors across the country have proffered solutions to the Federal government in order to have a win-win situation, but the Federal Government has paid deaf ears to their suggestions.
He says the mineral that is below the ground belongs to the Federal Government but they cannot go under the ground without calling on the landowner to access it
