Trouble Looms in Niger Delta as Pandef Gives Ultimatum

The Pan Niger Delta Forum (Pandef), a coalition of ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta region, has issued a 16-point agenda to the Federal Government, giving an ultimatum of 30 days to address their demands. Failure to comply with the demands, Pandef threatened to take drastic measures, including the shutdown of oil production and other economic activities in the region.

16-Point Agenda:

  1. Immediate release of all detained Niger Delta militants and activists.
  2. Withdrawal of military personnel from the region.
  3. Establishment of a Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) board.
  4. Increase in the allocation of funds to the NDDC.
  5. Implementation of the 13% derivation principle.
  6. Creation of additional states in the region.
  7. Appointment of a Niger Delta Affairs Minister.
  8. Establishment of a Niger Delta Development Bank.
  9. Increase in the number of federal universities in the region.
  10. Establishment of a Niger Delta Development Agency.
  11. Increase in the allocation of funds to the Niger Delta Ministry.
  12. Implementation of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.
  13. Release of all seized oil facilities and equipment.
  14. Increase in the number of federal roads in the region.
  15. Establishment of a Niger Delta Security Outfit.
  16. Increase in the allocation of funds to the Niger Delta Development Commission.

Consequences of Non-Compliance:

Pandef warned that if the Federal Government fails to comply with their demands within the 30-day ultimatum, they will be forced to take drastic measures, including:

The Niger Delta region has been plagued by issues of underdevelopment, environmental degradation, and militancy, which have led to a decline in oil production and revenue for the Federal Government. The region is home to some of Nigeria's most valuable natural resources, including oil and gas, but the people of the region feel that they have not benefited sufficiently from these resources.

It remains to be seen whether the Federal Government will comply with Pandef's demands and address the grievances of the Niger Delta people.
