Dan-China stressed that he won’t be deterred by the court case, adding that, “the day I found out that I can no longer impact on peoples’ lives in a positive way, I would stop mining that day.”
He further explained that despite his travails he was not holding any grudge against anybody and has no intention of pressing any charges against anyone.
“I am happy as all and sundry understood that all the litigations charged against him were far from the truth.
“I feel very great. I am happy with how the government understands the situation and found out the truth. Federal government understands that all the litigations are not true.
“I am grateful to Federal government and Plateau state government for the patience and following my issue without interference. I promise to continue to make peace with all the stakeholders involved,” he assured.

Dan-China, therefore, assured his host communities of his commitment in providing infrastructural development to the areas.
He said, “I am into mining not to acquire wealth, but to touch the lives of people in a positive way, that’s why I focus my philanthropic work on human development and youth empowerment.
“I know there are other issues pending but I am calling on both parties to live in peace with one another because without peace no town can develop.”
“When youths were empowered all social vices, crime and violence would be tamed and the society would progress and develop, therefore youths and human empowerment and development would continue to be my top priority,” he explained.
