The Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Arc. Olamilekan Adegbite has commended the work of an author for enhancing development of the solid minerals sector.
The Minister stated this during presentation of the new book titled: “Fundamentals for Exploring the Mining Sector” by Deinsam Dan Ogan at the headquarters of the Ministry in Abuja Thursday.
“Having your ideas put on paper to come out with a book that is aimed at enhancing the knowledge about the sector in this way is a bold step that must be commended.
“And I recommend the book for everyone who has mining at heart,” he said.
Minister of State Dr Uchechukwu Ogah who congratulated the author said the literature wouldn’t have come at a better time than now that government is in the process of diversifying the economy away from oil through the mining sector.
Speaking to newsmen after the presentation, Ogan said, “The book has been crafted in the way that it will attract investors, especially from the international community; that is why it is online for any one to download freely.”
