The Minister of Solid Minerals on Tuesday said Nigeria needs to spend more on exploration if it wants to unlock the potentials in the solid minerals sector.
Dr Kayode Fayemi made this clear while appearing before the House of Representatives as part of the ongoing Sectoral Debate organised by the House.
He also encouraged the House to consider the possibility of ensuring that states benefit from 13% derivation in the mining sector as in the oil and gas sector.
