One Year Anniversary: I’m being threatened – Solid Minerals Minister, Alake

 Minister of Solid Minerals, Henry Dele Alake, has admitted
that he is being threatened by people who are affected by the reforms he is
overseeing in the solid minerals sector.

Alake spoke at the Ministerial Sectoral Updates which is
part of activities lined up to mark President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s one year in
office as Nigerian President.

While presenting his scorecard in the last one year of the
administration to the media, the Minister was asked if he was safe carrying out
his functions.

“I’m being threatened,” he said

“But this issue is beyond me as an individual. If I’m
removed today, someone else will come there and do more because we have
established and really given the direction and our vision is that when we
would’ve left, Nigerians would have been so used to a higher standard of
governance that they’ll not accept anything lower than that. I’m very safe.”
