Recall that The Australian, an Australian national news daily stated that a private mining syndicate headed by a mining industry veteran, Hugh Morgan made the discovery of nickel at Dangoma in the north-west state of Kaduna.
“The discovery is unusual because the nickel is found in small balls up to 3mm in diameter of a high purity in shallow soils in what could be the surface expression of a much bigger hard-rock nickel field.”
This news about the president seeing the map is coming after a certain Facebook user, Jaafar Jaafar shared the post of his friend Rufa’i Dabo, who wrote an interesting post after he visited Bagwai and Shanono LGAs in Kano.
The man claims that these two villages are abundant of discovering gold and other natural resources.
According to him the only problem is that the locals can only dig a little as they do not have the modern equipment to assist them in mining these mineral resources.
