The Federal Government expressed its commitment to repositioning the Mining Cadastre Office MCO, through effective transformation, to improve productivity across the country.
The Director-General of the MCO, Simon Nkom, made the commitment at a Review for Development R4D Retreat, in Abuja.
Nkom said the essence of the retreat was to chart ways to reposition the entire mining cadastre to meet up with recent challenges being faced by the office.
The MCO innuagurated a new Online Mining Cadastre System based on GAF’s eMC+ framework, in November 2022.
The new system will connect the six newly-established zonal offices in six geopolitical zones with the headquarters in Abuja and ensure efficient and transparent management of the mining sector in Nigeria.
Nkom said through this system, investors would be provided with possibility to submit applications, adding that the system would enable the investors to track the processing.
