The community is fuming over the sidelining of Ogulagha indigenes in the proposed sale of marginal fields, warning that they would not concede any of the fields to non-indigenes. NigerDelta Ogulagha Forcados Nigeria EidMubarak
Nigeria’s crude oil export terminal at Forcados, Delta State, risks being shut down as leaders of the host community, Ogulagha Kingdom in Burutu Local Council, yesterday, warned they would cripple oil activities in their domain over alleged marginalisation and neglect by the Federal Government.
They lamented that Ogulagha Kingdom had not benefited in any way from development projects from the Federal Government despite their huge contributions to the growth of Nigeria’s economy. They said: ‘’It is wrong to refer to the Export Processing Zone as Ogidigben Gas Revolution Industrial Park, noting that the proposed 27,000 hectares of land, which is part of the export processing zone, is in Ogulagha Kingdom, and should be rightly called Niger Delta Gas Revolution Industrial Park.”
Besides, they appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately consider indigenes of Ogulagha Kingdom for appointment into federal boards and parastatals such as NDDC, NIMASA, NNPC, presidential amnesty programme and federal universities to give them a sense of belonging in the scheme of things.
