Community Guidelines: Nigerian govt to revoke mining licences

The Nigerian government said Tuesday it will revoke the licences of mining companies over failure to sign Community Development Agreements (CDA).

The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, disclosed this while speaking at the BusinessDay Media Solid Minerals Conference, held in Abuja.

“This year I am using this opportunity to sound a note of warning. Any company that fails to sign their community development agreement stands the risk of having its licences revoked,” Mr Alake said.
