Le Niger sanctionne quatre sociétés minières et pétrolières pour non-respect d’engagements

It is unfortunate those companies did not hold to their contractual obligations but, after being overly patient Nigerien government imposed due authority. I hope those contracts if not assumed by Nigerien government or Nigerien company are soon assumed by law plus contract abiding foreign company. Whoever assume those contracts should be obligated to process ores in Niger. We lose far too much profit plus taxes due to allowing foreigners to process ores mined in Niger elsewhere. It would simply be operating cost to set up necessary equipment that provide for ores to be processed in Niger. Much too often mining companies seize minerals accompanying gold plus sell them without contractual rights or Niger knowledge thereof depriving Niger of due profits plus taxes for non gold ores. This must be bought to end plus continuously enforced as long as condition exist. I deeply believe those contracts will be profitable under equitable management. Nothing less is acceptable under ongoing sovereignty of Niger. We are our brothers' keepers. Africa first people of books. Henry Author Price Jr. aka Kankan
