Delta Leaders Meet, Call for Implementation of 2014 Confab Report
Leaders from the Niger Delta region have met to discuss the implementation of the 2014 National Conference report. The meeting, which was attended by governors, senators, and other stakeholders, emphasized the need for the federal government to implement the report to address the region's grievances.
The 2014 National Conference was convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan to address the country's political and economic challenges. The conference produced a report that made far-reaching recommendations on issues such as resource control, devolution of power, and the creation of new states.
The Delta leaders, who are concerned about the region's marginalization and underdevelopment, called on the federal government to implement the report's recommendations to address the region's grievances. They also urged the government to take concrete steps to develop the region's infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and ports.
The meeting was attended by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, Senator James Manager, and other stakeholders from the region. They emphasized that the implementation of the 2014 National Conference report is crucial to addressing the region's development challenges and promoting peace and stability in the Niger Delta.
The leaders also called on the federal government to take immediate action to address the region's environmental degradation, which they said is a major challenge facing the region. They urged the government to take steps to clean up the region's polluted environment and to provide compensation to communities affected by oil spills and other environmental disasters.
Overall, the meeting was a call to action for the federal government to implement the 2014 National Conference report and to take concrete steps to develop the Niger Delta region.
