In a bid to quell the unrest in the Niger Delta region by militants in
recent times, President Buhari has ordered the military to suspend operations
in the region for 2 weeks to create room for dialogue with militants.
The Minister
of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, disclosed this at the handover
ceremony of Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas to the Federal Ministry of
Education in Abuja.
The Niger Delta Avengers and the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force, had
threatened to bomb the Presidential Villa in Abuja on June 7 which never
happened.
Meanwhile, Some Niger Delta elders on Tuesday blamed the crisis in the
region on years of poor leadership and mismanagement of resources allocated to
the region.
The elders said over the years leaders from the region misappropriated
and squandered huge revenues that accrued to the Niger Delta from different
federal resources and interventionist agencies.
