Following the lamentation made by Governor Ademola Adeleke that mining companies in Osun State have refused to remit 13 per cent derivation on gold mined to the state for about 25years, a Mining consultant to Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto and Osun States’ Government, Mrs Jumonke Lawoyin, has told the governor that 13 per cent derivation is remitted to Federal Government and not state.
THE WHISTLER recalled that Adeleke while inaugurating Solid Mineral Sector Committee on Monday vowed to recover all derivation fund owed the state in the past 25 years by Segilola and other mining companies in the state.
