Last April the Nigerian government attempted to introduce a ban on mining in the northwest of the county in a bid to curb conflict over natural resources. But in the state of Zamfara, where gold mining is one of the only viable livelihoods for the locals, many mines continue to operate, despite the lack of safety measures, the risk of lead poisoning and the constant threat of armed groups.

High intake of local brewed beer ‘Burukutu’ in North Central Nigeria is increasingly on the rise and this is a source of worry to the big producers of the conventional beers in Nigeria. In Benue, the looming economic crisis due to delayed payment of worker salaries and high rate of unemployment has forced many to abandon conventional beer for the local brewed, burukutu. They believe it is economically cheap compared to the conventional but expensive beer. In local Burukutu joint in Makurdi, Benue state capital, a litre of Burukutu is being sold for as low as one hundred naira compared to the conventional beer of that volume which cost almost triple the price.

In Zamfara, northwest Nigeria, armed groups nicknamed ‘the bandits’ and local citizens’ defence militias have been engaged in a violent conflict for decades. Now, it would appear that a peace deal has been reached. But while members on both sides are showing signs of optimism, many civilians caught in the crossfire of the conflict are still afraid to leave the displacement camps that they fled to in their thousands, wary of a return to hostilities.
