OML40, Belief-Gbene Community In Egbema Kingdom Writes Delta State Governor Okowa Over NPDC/ELCREST Oil Company Refusal To Pay Them Compensational Funds And Other Benefits

The Office Of Commisioner, Oil and Gas Delta State, Asaba.
Prince Emman Ambgaduba.

Sir,

Acts of deprivation, oppression that could lead to breach of peace in OML40, Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State.

We the entire members and executives of BELIEF-GBENE COMMUNITY hereby write to draw the attention of your esteemed office over  the unbearable, lingering and unacceptable oppression and injustice meted out on our dear community which is one of the biggest host communities that has been intentionally and unjustifiably excluded to benefit supposed oil proceeds in OML40 over the years particularly in the ongoing Dredging, Drilling, Pipleline Installation and Exploration Job/Process in OML40.

We took our time to write to your performing office as we have written series of letters to the Oil Committee Set up to take care of all host communities where the job is taking place but all to no avail including the companies NPDC/ELCREST handling the project and the leadership of Polobubou and Opuama communities.

The most saddest of it; is the invasion and encroachment, intentional denial of our community (Belief-Gbene) host community right and necessary benefits of the on going dredging, drilling, pipeline installation and exploration job/process at OML40 NPDC/ELCREST which has direct impact on our dear community since march 2019.

Our honorable commissioner sir, we are using this medium to inform your office and also register our total displeasure over the undescribable act of oppression and denial of our dear community right as others are already benefiting and we don't know what could be the reason  over this internal and external marginalization.

However, such act of excluding our community being one of the biggest host communities in 0ML40 that have been uncomfortably affected by the direct impact of her operations; negates the fundamental principal of equality as enshrined in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Commisioner sir, our demand is that of fairness, egalitarianism, justice and the right to be compensated by companies operating in our village without discussing with us and be treated as host community. As law abiding citizens, we don't want to take the laws into our hands, hence we write for your swift action before it degenerate into something else.

We will no longer accept neither allow any further operations and payment of funds by NPDC/ELCREST OML40 pending till BELIEF-GBENE is given her necessary benefits and right.

We want to also commend you for making the office of the honourable commissioner for Oil and Gas, Delta State more active compared to previous era, just few month upon assuming the office, you have done a lot for our people by avoiding chaos between host communities and multinational oil companies.

Conclusively, we know that our honourable commissioner is a man positioned by God in that office to deliver justice for the oppressed by doing what is right, we are therefore hoping for a swift intervention where  everyone will be treated equally. A stitch in time they say saves nine.

Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.
