Amidst the controversies surrounding a nationwide protest billed to commence on August 1, the Minister of Niger Delta Development, Abubakar Momoh, has said youths in the region should take it upon themselves to have a cursory assessment of the Tinubu administration before embarking on any protest.
He said when they consider the impact of projects so far executed in the region, they will lack the enthusiasm to go on mass protests. The Minister, while interacting with State House correspondents on Wednesday, said that there is nobody in the country, including the President, who would say that protesting is a sin, but the consequences of the action may not be good for economic development.
'The number of projects that have been executed in the South-South region and particularly the Niger Delta region within this one year cannot be compared with what has happened previously in the last four years. For instance, recently, you watched us on the screen commissioning projects in the Niger Delta area.
