The vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ifeanyi Okowa has stated that militancy won’t return in the Niger Delta if the residents are well cared for.<\/p>\n

This was made known on Sunday by Okowa while\u00a0speaking at a town hall meeting organised by Channels Television.<\/p>\n

The Delta governor said if elected in the 2023 presidential election, the PDP will comprehensively develop the Niger Delta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce you provide the needed governance, it\u2019s unlikely that militancy will return again. You first ask yourself what led to that. People felt ignored, people felt excluded from governance, they were not seeing the infrastructure, their children didn\u2019t find the space to get properly educated to get access to jobs, these were quite obvious,\u201d Okowa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, in that frustration, you saw a lot of youths take to arms. But when Atiku Abubakar comes back, we are going to provide services that will reach out to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to ensure that people are carried along in the provision of education, in the provision of start-up jobs, in the provision of entrepreneurial skills, in ensuring that our people actually go to school and then they have the opportunity to educate themselves and get gainfully employed because we are going to get the economy working all over again.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd with all this in place, the full implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which is very important, where the communities are going to have a feeling of being included in governance because in that act, it provides for a host community fund and that is enough to help them develop themselves, to develop their children to develop facilities beyond the facilities that government would provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond that, we are also going to ensure that we have an efficient NDDC<\/a> that works for the good of the people, carrying the people along, providing infrastructure, providing them with educational facilities and other opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is not what you have at the moment. So, when you get all these things, when you make them functional and the people can see the development, you are not going to see militants coming back again.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Delta state, by the time we came in 2015, it was really very tough for us\u2026 but by the time we started providing infrastructure in the various communities in the creeks which they thought that they could never really get, by the time we started making those provisions and we started engaging them, they realised that the best was to embrace the government and to work together with the government for further development.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
