The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Abubakar Momoh, has sought the collaboration of the traditional rulers in the Niger Delta region to achieve sustainable peace and security in the region.
“You should talk of the governor of the state and you know that the traditional rulers are the next in terms of hierarchy,” he said.
The minister, however, promised to interface with his colleague in the Federal Ministry of Works with a view to fashioning out how best the roads could be constructed in a very short time to alleviate the sufferings of the people. “We plead that the East-West Road project should be returned to the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs. It is very important,” he said.
“We are feeling the pains in the Niger Delta region. For instance, we cannot get to Benin City our neighboring state or Port Harcourt, even to get to Asaba is a great challenge.
