THE SENATERECALLS its Resolution that new sources of revenue be developed for the states and Federal Government;
NOTES that Nigeria's solid minerals survey indicates the presence of over 32 strategic minerals resourcesin commercial quantities spread in all the states of the Federation (see list attached). For example, inNigeria today, there are 22 coal resources spread across 13 States with proven reserve of 639million tannesand inferred reserve of 2,750 million tonnes. Coal used to be the source of energy requirement far theindustrial sector and can generate up to 7,000magawatts of electricity for the Nation. This is the benefit ofone natural resources;
AWARE-that the Ministry of Solid Minerals is undertaking to develop one solid mineral in each LocalGovernment Area of the Federation in order to develop cottage industries based on the Solid MineralResources in the Local Government Areas;
NOTES that the exploration and extraction of solid minerals resources will generate revenue to the statesand provide jobs;
WORRIED-that overdependence on oil resources in the country has created great want, widespreadpoverty, unemployment, social decay, infrastructural distortions and general insecurity in many parts ofthis country;
WORRIED also that the oil reserves in Nigeria may not last more than 40 years;
FURTHER-notes that the diversification of government revenue away from oil is a key focus and that solidminerals sector has the potential to playa major role in providing substantial revenue to government andgenerally grow the economy;
WORRIED however, that the solid minerals sector is inadequately funded. For example, capital budgetaryallocations for the 2011, 2012, and proposed for 2013 are: N2.9b. N3.2b and N1b respectively. Theseprovisions are highly inadequate;
UNHAPPy that the Solid Minerals Sector is not adequately funded to facilitate the generation ofcompetitive geosciences data needed to attract investors resulting in generation of revenue for governmentand the tremendously reducing illegal mining;
FURTHER observes that there is an absence of Solid Minerals Development Fund as provided underNigeria Minerals and Mining Act, 2007,which stipulates special fund for developing the sector;

supposed to fund the solid minerals sector has never been used to fund the sector. It is reported that thisyear over 250billion of the funds have been withdrawn and utilised elsewhere;
AGGRIEVED that the Solid Mineral Sector has not benefited from the Natural Resources Fund and thatthe Fund accrued into it is being utilised in secrecy;
NOTES-that the 13% derivation formula as provided by the constitution has never applied to the solidminerals sector.
Accordingly resolved to:(i). MANDATE the Committee on Solid Minerals to:a) EMBARK on holistic assessment of solid minerals development in Nigeria.
b) INVESTIGATE in collaboration with Public Accounts and National Planning, Economic Affairsand Poverty Alleviation Committees, the Natural Resources Development Fund since its inceptionand recommend measures to insure compliance to the objective of the Fund.
