Buhari To Strengthen Amnesty Programme by abagoro(m): 5:20pm On Jul 14, 2015 |
ABUJA – President Mohammadu Buhari on Monday said that his
government will not totally discard the amnesty programme for
Niger-Delta region but will build on the good aspects of the
Programme.
This is even as he assured both foreign and local investors of his
readiness to implement far-reaching reforms which he said will
boost accountability and transparency in Nigeria’s oil and gas
industry.
Buhari spoke at a meeting with senior officials of Chevron led by
the company’s President for Africa and Latin America, Mr. Ali
Moshiri at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The president also promised to effectively address the myriad of
challenges in the sector.
“We understand the situation in the industry and we will do our
best to address the challenges affecting exploration, production
and distribution of oil products in the country,’’ the President told
the delegation.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu stated that president
Buhari acknowledged that the Amnesty Programme was initiated
by President Umar Yar’Adua to reduce violence in the Niger Delta
region.
The statement added that “his administration will also implement
other measures to enhance security in the Niger Delta and
optimize investments in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.”
Speaking earlier, chevron president, Moshori urged President
Buhari to restore the confidence of international investors in the
industry even as he “identified improved security in the Niger Delta
as key to increased investment in the oil and gas sector in
Nigeria.”
According to him, “Chevron which has 36.7 percent interest in the
West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited, was keen to support
Nigeria’s gas sector and bring more electricity to Nigerian
consumers.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/we-ll-strengthen-amnesty-programme-buhari/ |

I won't be surprised if Buhari goes the way of Yar Adua towards amnesty and the Niger Delta. Our Southern brothers (OBJ & GEJ) failed us most on the issue of amnesty & Niger Delta |

All words and no action. Promises and more promises as if they are still campaigning. The Niger Deltans only requested for continuation of the amnesty. No addition, no subtraction. |
