According to the governor, the Federal Government is committed to ensuring sustained peace in the region.
“We shall collaborate with the Federal Government to ensure that the existing peace is sustained in the entire Niger Delta region.

Ogbogbor commended the governor for his prudence in the management of the “lean resources” accruing to the state currently.
