ADERONKE ATOYEBI: "When Nasarawa state governor, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, says Dele Alake has become “a better mining engineer than myself,” Nigerians should pay attention. Not because the statement is flattering, but because it comes from a governor who understands mining, has witnessed the transformation of the sector firsthand and has a front-row seat to the economic possibilities embedded in Nigeria’s mineral wealth. Sule’s admission was particularly revealing because he confessed that he initially doubted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to appoint a media professional as Minister of Solid Minerals Development. His reasoning was understandable. Mining is technical, complex and capital-intensive. Yet, as the governor acknowledged, Alake quickly immersed himself in the sector, mastered its language and, more importantly, embraced the President’s policy direction with uncommon seriousness."
