“We recognise the pressure mounted on President Buhari to discontinue the Programme by persons who do not mean well for the nation and Niger Delta people in particular. The President did not only snub the lobbyists, he appointed Ndiomu, a man of proven military discipline and integrity.
“He brought a regime of reforms that have helped to block the leakages and conduits through which many criminal-minded persons have been profiting and stealing money meant for the genuine ex-militants,” the statement said. “We note that the involvement of stakeholders like Mr. Government Ekpemupolo to secure oil and gas infrastructure in the creeks was a masterstroke that has significantly reduced the incidence of oil theft,” the statement said.
It listed some of the achievements recorded by Ndiomu to include earning the confidence and support of President Buhari, timely payment of monthly allocations, sustaining peace in the region leading to increased production of crude oil at an average of 1.67million barrels per day, new policy initiatives on cooperative, completion of 5 vocational training centres and data sanitization to verify genuine ex-agitators, among others.
