Osun State Government and the Nigerian Government have been requested to find a long-lasting solution to illegal gold mining that was polluting the Osun River for 2 million residents. Both the state and the federal government will not only take immediate steps to purify the contaminated Osun River but also compensate residents whose lives have been affected by the presence of mercury, lead and cyanide as a result of illegal mining activity. Residents are blaming the government because the government failed to take action against the illegal mining.
