A Waiting Course!!!

The new political dispensation came with a lot of hope in the solid mineral sector, as visible changes to light as a result of the brilliant Minister in charge of the sector. Immediately it was made known that the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development had been split into the Ministry of Solid Mineral and the Ministry of Steel Development, and it came clear that the current political swing is clear on how to move the sector forward. Different events unfolded as the ministers were appointed. Mr. Dele Alake for the Ministry of Solid Mineral and Mr. Shuaibu Audu was also appointed as Minister for Steel Development. Mr. Dele Alake took the momentum of the operation to another level with a giant leap, when he made clear that the dwindling fortune of the mineral sector can only be revived if the sanity within the sector is cleared.

The smile, the greeting, and the warmth help most times may want to overshadow the suffering amongst these people. That has not taken away the fact that they have no school, no good water, no good road, and a good health care system. Yet, I realized they sit on what the whole world needs. They sit on valuable minerals that can put an end to these problems, and give everyone good life. A deep reflection makes you wonder why these people are happy when they struggle to have basic things in life. In the bigger picture, the capital cities are not left out. It's no longer news that many states in our beloved country pay less than $100 minimum wage. They also have bad roads and a struggling economy. One thing that comes to mind as a mini...
