Some weeks ago, a video of 15 trucks laden with minerals alleged to be uranium and extracted from Kwande Local Government, Benue state went viral.
Following the revelation by the video, the minister ordered discreet investigations by the Mines Inspectorate of the ministry.

This prompted the minister to summon relevant stakeholders from the state to get the true picture of the situation.
After listening to all submissions, the Minister noted discrepancies in the account of the representatives of the communities, the operators and mines inspectorate officials, vowing to ensure painstaking investigations and bring to book those that might have run foul of the law.
