We’re ready to partner with responsible investors in gold mining – Says Oyetola

Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has expressed the readiness of his Administration to partner with willing investors in the country with interest in responsible gold mining in the State.

He stated this on Monday after embarking on facility tour of the mining sites of Segilola Resources Operating Limited located in Iperindo, Imogba and Odo Ijesa, all in Atakunmasa East Local Government Area of the State.

Governor Oyetola and his entourage inspected the Water Storage Dam used in processing the raw gold, process plant area, mining pit and sick bay for the employees of the mining company.

The high point of the visit was the unveiling of unrefined Gold samples, mined by Segilola Resources Operating Limited by Governor Oyetola.

He described the project as a practical step to good governance and commended the leadership of the firm for a job well done.

The governor who noted that his visit was memorable and historic as a result of the significant achievement recorded by the gold mining company, said the project is a reflection of the diversification policy of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He commended the mining company for maintaining cordial relationship with the host community and pledged the unalloyed support of his Administration to the mining company to ensure it operates to the optimum level.

Governor Oyetola who expressed personal conviction that the future of the State of Osun is assured, charged the host communities to continue to make the environment conducive for the gold mining company.
