Appreciate Ndiomu for his good works, group tells N/Deltans, Stakeholders

Appreciate Ndiomu for his good works, group tells N/Deltans, Stakeholders 

Yenagoa ______ Major stakeholders from the Niger Delta have been enjoined to put their differences aside, close ranks and take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them with the presence of interventionist agencies including the Presidential Amnesty Programme to change the fortunes of the region.

The call which is contained in a statement issued in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State by the Niger Delta Peace Advocates (NDPA) says for long, people have been singing in discordant tunes to the detriment of advancing the socio-economic well-being of the region.

The statement jointly signed by Ebitimi Kurowei and Amangiye Thomas, Chairman and Secretary respectively, the NDPA noted that the Niger Delta Region is in a state of distress.

The group noted that “Part of the problems of the Niger Delta are self-inflicted. There is lack of cohesion, unity and the seeming culture of calling out those charged with the responsibility of developing the area to public ridicule is a very worrying trend”.

It said "A case in point is the Presidential Amnesty Programme, where the Interim Administrator, General Barry Ndiomu has made tremendous transformations with a shift from the past and focusing more on the sustainability of ex-agitators now and for the future”. 

The Niger Delta Peace Advocates urged people of the region to instead of dissipating energy on disparaging General Ndiomu, they should rather pool their resources together to form a body of experts to offer diverse pieces of professional advice and ideas on how to explore the potentials of ex-agitators and youths from the region towards positive directions.

The group argued that if the Presidential Amnesty Programme and the Niger Delta Development Commission had been established elsewhere in the country, people from such places would have taken full advantage of the opportunities presented by those agencies and work closely with their managements to reap maximally from them. 

According to the statement, the NDPA regrets that the reverse is the case in the Niger Delta and wondered why some people have turned themselves into cogs in the wheels of progress in the region.

“We condemn the culture of entitlement among our people particularly the majority of the ex-agitators who are still relying on the monthly sixty-five thousand naira stipend which has become inconsequential under the present economic realities in the country. This mentality has also created a culture of indolence which should be discouraged”, the statement added.

Ikuli Refers the Difference B/W Gov. Diri and Sylva as Light and Darkness

Ikuli Refers the Difference B/W Gov. Diri and Sylva as Light and Darkness 

Gov. Douye Diri like everyone of us has a fair share of human weaknesses, but on general assessment, he has done very well to merit a Second Term.

Beside restoring Peace, Unity and Security to our great state that is also the Home and Headquarters of the Ijaw Nation, he has done well in the areas of Infrastructure particularly Road Construction.

He has done well in the Education and Health Sectors and other areas.

His prompt payment of Workers Salaries and prioritization of Pensioners welfare is worthy of commendation.

Today, it is difficult to differentiate between members of PDP and APC because of the way and manner Gov. Douye Diri has brought all Bayelsans together.

The Governor is giving all Sections and Segments of the state high senses of belonging.

There is absolutely no way we can compare Gov. Douye Diri who is humble, unassuming, compassionate and very accessible with Chief Timipre Sylva who believe in using and dumping people.

Sylva knew he had ambition to contest for the office of the Governor of Bayelsa State yet as Minister of State for Petroleum Resources he deliberately impoverished everybody around him including all Chieftains of the APC.

Sylva had opportunity to give Approvals to Bayelsans and other Ijaws to lift products that could have made many Bayelsans to be Multimillionaires and Billionaires, but he deliberately refused. He rather gave such opportunities to non-Ijaws.

He had opportunity to give Employments to Bayelsans but he never did.

He had opportunity to give Scholarships to Bayelsans but he never did.

Why is it that Sylva did not engage qualified Bayelsans as sub-contractors in the multi-billion Dollars ongoing TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE of the REFINERIES, why did he give all the contracts to non-Ijaws?

Bayelsans and other Ijaws are not qualified to handle big contracts that will empower them but they are qualified to support his quest to come back and govern Bayelsa State in his quest for vendetta?

Is it not sad that he connived with others to exclude Bayelsa State from the Road Projects that NNPC executed in many states?

Is this the kind of person that want to come and govern Bayelsa State?

Does he think that Bayelsans do not know his plans to come and cause unimaginable problems in the State?

I am happy that Ijaws have never been conquered by any tribe and there is absolutely no way Sylva can come with external collaborators and conspirators to conquer Bayelsa State and Bayelsans.

The whole Ijaw Nation shall join forces to resist Sylva and his cohorts who are agents of retrogression.

Ijaw lnterest Group Warn NLC, TUC to Stop Trading on Nigerians with FG over Epileptic Strike Threat

Ijaw lnterest Group Warn NLC, TUC to Stop Trading on Nigerians with FG over Epileptic Strike Threat 

Warri _____ The Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI has warned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress, TUC to stop trading with the problems of Nigerians.

A statement by the spokesperson of the group, Comrade Ezekiel Kagbala on Tuesday, warned the NLC, in particular, to stop their deception over issues of serious national importance, warning that Nigerians will soon regard them as agents and instruments of the government.

The Ijaw interest group noted that on every occasion, the NLC would deceive the public into believing it was protecting their interests, only to betray the course, and negotiate with the government at the expense of the suffering masses.

It was pathetic how labor rescinded the decision to go on with its planned strike scheduled for October 3rd, 2023, claiming to have a memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the representatives of the labor unions and the federal government on Monday.

It is pertinent to state that the issues were not addressed labor have collected brown envelopes, handshake, or appreciation to fool Nigerians. NCL has tossed away its powers to negotiate on behalf of Nigerian workers, they cannot be probating and rebaiting all the time.

Oil/Gas Producing Communities Urge Tinubu to Constitute NDDC Board

Oil/Gas Producing Communities Urge Tinubu to Constitute NDDC Board

Firstly, we wish to congratulate our amiable President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on his victory at the Presidential poll and the recent victory at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

We the representatives and leaders of the Niger Delta Oil and Gas Producing Communities Forum wish to appreciate Mr. President for nominating the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Board Members across her member states, in accordance with the NDDC ACT, 2000, in order to constitute the Board on time. Many thanks for this timely act to reposition the commission on the right track to attract develop to our Oil and Gas Producing Communities in the region.

The press statement signed by Chief Mulade Sheriff and Hon Goodness Gereghewei, as Chairman and Secretary, respectively, from Delta and Bayelsa States. It would be recalled that Mr President  nominated fresh Chairman and members of NDDC Board, on 29th August, 2023, subject to the senate screening and confirmation, for appointment into the NDDC Board, as   enshrined in the ACT. However,  since the Senate was on recess, nothing much has been done in that regard, and we expected that screening and confirmation of the NDDC nominees would be the first set of nominees to be screened and confirmed. 

We wish to strongly appeal to Mr President to kindly, as a matter of utmost importance, urge the Senate to screen and confirm these nominees for appointment to avoid a replay of nightmarish experience. 

It must be put on record that it’s still fresh in our minds when  sole administrators and acting Managing Directors of the commission, which in turn deprived the people of development and economic growth in the region.

Finally, we further wish to commend Mr President for picking some of the best brightest as nominees on the new NDDC Board are persons of good reputations and integrity. We appeal to Mr President to kindly consider the constitution of the board as a matter of urgency and forward the nominees list to the Senate for Screening/confirmation so that the Board could be fully represented by all the member States for effective delivery of development in the Region.
