What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Deputy Campaign Coordinator for Special Operations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney Hamilton Nixon has called on Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to break his silence and take decisive action against the ongoing illegal mining (Galamsey) crisis ravaging the country.

In an open letter on his Facebook wall, Chief Biney urged the Vice President to step up and push for accountability, reminding him that the environmental destruction caused by Galamsey is a national emergency that threatens the future of generations to come.
