Jupiter Ltd Is Planning A Smear Campaign Against Tinubu During UK Visit – FG

Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima

The Federal Government has alleged plans by a mining firm, Jupiter Limited, to launch a campaign of calumny against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Special Assistant on Media to the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Segun Tomori, recently revealed that the smear campaign was launched during BAT’s state visit to the United Kingdom.

According to him, the ministry is aware of plans by the embattled mining company to orchestrate negative publicity against the Federal Government during the president’s UK visit.

Insisting that the allegations are baseless and unfounded, he stressed that the Federal Government, through the Ministry and the Nigeria Mining Cadastral Office, has no legal or contractual relationship with any company known as Jupiter Lithium.

His words, “It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Solid Minerals Development that an embattled mining firm, Jupiter Ltd, plans to orchestrate a campaign of calumny against the Federal Government of Nigeria during the state visit of President Bola Tinubu to the United Kingdom.

The revocation followed due notice served on the company in line with extant laws governing default in payment of annual service fees.

This is a complete fabrication.

The nefarious activities of the past that stunted the growth of the mining sector will no longer be tolerated. Ongoing reforms that have repositioned the sector and attracted growing global interest have come to stay.”

WOW.
