Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has issued a third executive order aimed at halting illegal mining activities within the state. The latest directive, signed in June 2026, represents the administration's ongoing effort to regulate the sector since the governor first assumed office in 2023.
Despite these repeated executive interventions, unauthorized mining operations continue to persist across the region. These illicit activities are reportedly causing the state government to lose billions of naira in potential annual revenue, undermining efforts to formalize the industry and secure state resources.
