Category: Nigeria National News
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the military to suspend action on Niger Delta region for two weeks to enable room for dialogue with the militants who have in recent times carried out bombings on some oil installations in the region.
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, yesterday June
6th.
The minister said, the team for the dialogue will
consist top officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, NNPC, service chiefs and ministers from the Niger Delta
region.
He said;
"The President is interested in dialogue and has mandated the military to halt actions for about two weeks to ensure a team that will be led by the NSA, dialogue with the militants to ensure peace in the region. The avenue is open for them, provided the militants are willing to embrace dialogue and allow truth to reign because we are going to involve key leaders from the region who have had previous experience in that area to play whatever role they can"
