Ebonyi State Championing Solid Mineral Sector Revival and Modernization
Mr. Chidi Onyia Emmanuel, the Ebonyi State Commissioner for Solid Mineral Development, is leading efforts to revitalize and modernize the state’s solid mineral sector, positioning it for sustainable growth and development.
Under his tenure, the state government is taking decisive action to hold contractors accountable and ensure compliance with regulations, signaling a new era of transparency and accountability in the sector.
Commissioner Onyia’s strategic vision includes the establishment of solid mineral processing plants, enhancing value addition and generating revenue for both the state and federal governments.
Highlighting the abundant mineral resources in Ebonyi, Onyia underscored the importance of harnessing these resources responsibly and promoting local processing to maximize economic benefits.
With plans underway for the state’s own processing plant and rigorous enforcement of safety measures, Ebonyi’s solid mineral sector is poised for a resurgence, creating opportunities for employment and economic diversification.
