Determined to facilitate collaboration with other national and international institutions involved in exploration and mining of precious stones, research and the development of teacher education, the country’s upper chamber of the National Assembly on Tuesday approved the passage of the bill for an Act to establish School of Mines and Geological Studies in GUYUK, Adamawa state.
The passage of the said bill was sequel to the consideration of a report by the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions (TETFUND) earlier referred to at plenary in 2021.
Chairman of TETFUND Committee of the 9th Senate, Senator Ahmed Babba Kaita in his presentation said “establishing the School of Mines and Geological Studies would in no small measure, provide requisite training for middle and junior level manpower for the mineral and mining sector of the nation”.
The bill captioned Establishment Bill, 2022( SB 267) was the brainchild of Senator Binos Yaroe, representing southern senatorial district of Adamawa state.
