Oil Facilities Bombing: Buhari Meets Dialogue Group

As part of efforts
aimed at resolving the high level of agitations in the oil-rich Niger Delta which have resulted in sustained bombing of oil installations in the region, President Muhammadu Buhari, has played host to a delegation of Niger Delta Dialogue and Contact Group.
The delegation which was led by His Royal Highness, King  Alfred Diette-Spiff, the Amanyanabo of Twon Brass, Bayelsa State, met with the President recently at the State House, Abuja, on the way forward.
While addressing the delegation, the President had pleaded with the group and people of the region to exercise patience as his administration is determined to rebuild the nation.
He said that the gazette on the Niger Delta amnesty programme by the Umaru Yar’Adua administration was being studied with a view to determining what had been fulfilled, promising that whatever was left would equally be addressed.
Buhari, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, said under his watch, Nigeria would witness judicious utilisation of resources.
“We intend to rebuild this country so that our children and grand-children will have a good place they can call their own.
“A lot of damage had been done.  So, I want you to tell the people to be patient.
“When you get together with other leaders, please pacify the people.  We will utilise the resources of Nigeria with integrity and rebuild the country”, he said.
He was also said to have met same day with security chiefs in the country.
