The Executive Chairman of Isoko North Local Government, Hon. (Elder) Prince Godwin Ogorugba, has strongly warned against mining activities along roads, emphasizing that the government has invested heavily in road construction and will not tolerate actions that damage public infrastructure.

Ogorugba issued this warning during a meeting with the leadership of the Miners Association, Tipper Drivers, Okada & Keke Riders, and the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) alongside security personnels at the Council’s Exco Chamber.

“The cost of constructing a kilometer of road has risen significantly, and as a government, we cannot sit back and allow people to destroy our roads. ,” he stated.

He also raised concerns over the environmental impact of mining along roads, particularly erosion, stressing that such activities must be stopped immediately and all dredging site operators must obey the relevant mining and environmental laws to avoid being sanctioned.

Ogorugba appealed to the tipper drivers to reduce the cost of a trip of sand from the current price of ₦40,000, given the prevailing economic situation.

“I have engaged relevant authorities on rent reduction, especially in Ozoro, and I urge you to reduce the price of sand from ₦40,000 you have initially set.

On the issue of movement restrictions, he affirmed that the measures would remain in place for now, as they have yielded positive results.

” Security is everyone’s business, let us all partner to ensure a peaceful society that will facilitate the speedy development of our local government. My main concern is the collective well-being of our people,” he added.

The Chairman further stressed the need to intensify efforts against the abuse of hard drugs, noting that many young people are being destroyed by substance abuse.

Ogorugba also commended security personnel for their dedication and urged residents to cooperate with them in maintaining peace and order in the area.
