The Edo state Government on Monday said that it had identified about 200 solid minerals in different parts of the state awaiting exploitation.
Mr Iriogbe Isimeme, Edo state Commissioner for Solid minerals, Oil and Gas, said that the state government was ready to woo investors to harness the resources in the state.
Isimeme acknowledged that the solid minerals sector was under the purview of the Federal Government, but the state government would collaborate with the private sector and the central government to exploit the mineral deposits.
He said that the Governor Adams Oshiomhole administration was doing its best to provide a conducive environment for prospective investors. The commissioner also urged the Federal Government to facilitate the process of harnessing and exploiting the vast mineral deposits in the state.
