The NSCDC’s Mining Marshals are urging mining operators across Nigeria to obtain valid licences and comply with safety regulations, warning that enforcement action will follow non-compliance. Multiple outlets report that the Mining Marshals are stepping up monitoring and taking action against operators who fail to meet legal and safety requirements.
Coverage also links the warnings to broader enforcement against illegal mining activity. One report describes intensified operations in Nasarawa, while another says the crackdown is being carried out without a fixed order of operations and is aimed at illegal miners and “economic saboteurs.” Across the stories, the central message remains consistent: operators should regularise licences and follow safety rules to avoid NSCDC action.
