ABUJA – The Federal Government weekend restated its
readiness to collaborate with ex-militants in the oil rich
Niger Delta region to ensure protection of lives and
properties in the region.
The Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme
for former Niger Delta militants, Brig-Gen. Paul Boro (rtd)
said President Muhammadu Buhari desires peace in the
region, hence, his administration was willing to engage
relevant stakeholders to address all forms of illegality in
the region.
Boro was speaking as a special guest in a forum
organised by Riverine Security, (Coast-Guard of the
Federation), a group of all ex-militants in the Niger Delta
region, in Abuja.
Represented by Major Matti Abdul (rtd), Boro maintained
that all hands must be on deck to ensure safety of water
ways and communities in order to promote economic
development in the region.
In his remarks, the Commandant General of the Coast-
Guard of the Federation, Oduku Bibi said all ex-agitators
in the region had vowed to toe the path of peace and
progress, because they believed in the ability of Buhari’s
government to develop the region.
“We have come to say a big no to militancy, oil
bunkering, pipeline vandalism and all other familiar vices
that have impeded the rapid development of the Niger
Delta and Nigeria at large,” he said.
Commending the new coordinator, Bibi explained that
their involvement in the peace, security and progress in
the Niger Delta region became imperative in view of their
adequate knowledge of the terrains in the region.
According to him “the people who can best protect the
Niger Delta is Niger Deltans. Our men are conversant
with the security hurdles; they know the terrains and we
will assist security agencies in the discharge of their
duties.”
He further disclosed that the group had had
understanding with the Nigerian Navy for the protection
of water ways, adding that they would extend it to the
Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to
ensure that people in the region are well protected.
