Officials sealing up a business
The Oyo state government has sealed Sequal and Eminent quarries both located along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway for operating without the necessary documents
Officers of the Oyo State Mineral Development Agency on Tuesday reported that they went on a tour of some quarry sites in Ibadan, the state capital and made requests for the letter of consent and operation licences of the companies following Executive Order 00012023 signed by Governor Seyi Makinde recently to protect mineralised communities against insecurity and illegal mining.
Speaking with newsmen, the Coordinating Director, Oyo State Mineral Development Agency, Mrs Omidiran Olufunke, said the government would not fold its hands to allow illegal operation of quarries in the state, adding that the mission was basically to seal quarry activities that did not comply with the state’s rules.
