An ljaw political pressure group under the aegis of Delta ljaw Progressive Movement (DIPM), has appealed to the Deputy Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, distinguished Sen. Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege to come to the aid of ljaw people, especially Delta South Senatorial District to rescue them from indiscriminate federal abandoned projects littered across various communities in the riverine areas of Burutu, Bomadi and Warri South-West LGAs in the state.

The group disclosed this through a Press Statement released on Monday in Warri and signed by its National Coordinator, Snr. Comrade Assor Samuel, stated that all the said projects have direct impact to the people, especially the youths and it will propel Human Capital development for peaceful and crime free society as well as attract sustainable development to the grassroots.

Comrade Assor listed  some of the federal abandoned projects in riverine areas of the state to include; Tuomo Skill Acquisition Development Centre awarded by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, the Vocational Training Center Bomadi, awarded by the Presidential Amnesty Programme Office, the Maritime Technical Academy Okoloba, awarded by NIMASA and the Federal Maritime University Okerenkoko among others. He said the ljaw representatives in the National Assembly are incapacitated and had woefully failed the people. 

He added that if His Excellence, Senator Omo-Agege can use his revered office to resuscitate the above listed projects for the ljaw people in Delta South, they would massively mobilized to support and vote him the next governor of Delta State come 2023, Comrade Assor noted.
