Oil bearing communities in the Niger Delta region have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to institute a forensic team to audit activities of the Niger Delta Affairs Ministry since its inception some 12 years ago.
In a resolution reached at the end of a stakeholders' meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, over the weekend, the mineral producing communities reiterated that it would be to the best interest of the Niger Delta Development Commission for the ministry to either be scrapped or relocated to the Niger Delta region for maximum productivity.
said the Ministry had not been useful and was yet to meet the aspirations of the people of the oil producing areas since it was established. Ambakederimo said the Ministry was created to assuage the agitation of a people who were not actually sure of what the region really wanted. "The obsession that was brought to bear on the NDDC was suspect and of course our fears were confirmed."
