As part of national efforts to promote responsible mining, the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Hon. Sulemana Yusif, has engaged key stakeholders in the mining sector to advance the Government’s Responsible Cooperative Mining and Skills Development Programme (rCOMSDEP).

The engagement focused on identifying mineralised areas within existing concessions that are not suitable for large-scale mining but are viable for cooperative mining. The initiative seeks to create sustainable livelihoods while ensuring environmental protection and compliance with national regulations.

The meeting brought together representatives from Large Scale Mining companies, RCOMSDEP and other stakeholders, to ensure the programme aligns with national interests and supports responsible resource management.
