Bankole, who provided the reassurance on Friday evening during a media briefing in Abuja, stated that the location of solid minerals is crucial to the socioeconomic development of the country.
According to him, the revitalization of the mining industry will benefit the local community and increase government revenue.
He said, “Our government will make it a priority to encourage industries vital to national development. This means growing our industrial base to provide jobs to an expanding urban population.
“Through the development of an industrial development master plan, we will extend tax and other credits as well as urban youth employment incentives to domestic manufacturing entities. It will also encourage domestic manufacturers and producers to add value to basic products thus, promoting value-added industry and production.
