Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed
The Bauchi State Government has banned the issuance of consent letters to prospective mining investors in the state without clearance letters from the Ministry of Natural Resources.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the Ministry of Natural Resources in Bauchi State, Saleh Umar, on Saturday, January 6, 2024.
Umar noted that the state government provided an enabling environment for the mining sector to thrive in the state by enhancing investors’ confidence in the solid mineral sector.

He, however, said the move to ban the issuance of consent letters, according to the Commissioner of the Ministry, Maiwada Bello, was to address the effect of environmental degradation and security challenges associated with mining activities.
“In view of this development, the state government henceforth banned individual, group, or traditional heads from issuance of consent letters to any prospective investors in the state without obtaining clearance from the ministry.
“I, therefore, call on our traditional rulers and all stakeholders in the mining sector, especially mining investors, to take note,” Umar quoted the commissioner as saying.
