Speaking during the visit, he said “Though the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development Dr. Uchechukwu Ogah has been here before on behalf of the ministry, I decided to be here in person to appreciate the leadership of NSCDC for the efforts giving to the ministry despite no financial backing by the ministry for now,”
