Nasarawa’s Solid Mineral Resources Can Sustain Nigeria – Governor Tanko

Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al – Makura has revealed that solid mineral resources in the state can sustain the country if harnessed.

Makura said with the effort by the federal government to diversify the economy, Nasarawa state has large deposit of over 27 solid mineral resources that can earn the country foreign income.

He commented that with the dwindling fortune in the oil industry, the deposit in Nasarawa is a window of opportunity to sustain the economy especially with the present effort of President Muhammadu Buhari to diversify the economy, adding that his administration has made a lot of opportunities for investors to come over and make a fortune.

The governor stated that a lot of amenities have been provided that will make it easier for investors to invest in the state ranging from roads and investor friendly policies.

He said aside from lands that can be utilized for federal government mass housing estate which has been earmarked around Mararaba, gate way to Abuja there are other opportunities such as tourism potentials.
