Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office, under Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, has sensitised stakeholders on adoption of Electronic Mining Cadastre System (eMC+).

Director General and Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office, Obadiah Nkom, said the system would cater for mineral title administration from application submission to payment of fees, granting (refusing) and issuance of certificate.

Nkom, who spoke at an event in Ibadan, Oyo State, noted that there had been efforts to computerise the office.
