Niger Delta

The Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta, MOSIEND, has declared that the Federal Government has not done anything tangible for the people and the Niger Delta region. The group also faulted the Amnesty Programme for ex-agitators in the region, saying the scheme should not count as an achievement.

Speaking during the 56th Boro Day celebration, MOSIEND National President, Kennedy West, averred that the amnesty programme is not the answer to the problems of the Niger Delta people and region. According to him, amnesty was just a programme that the agitators from the region agreed upon as a condition to drop their arms.

We want approvals of OML given to the people of the region, reason being that if we have more people from the region operating the OML, there will be a limit to issues of gas flaring, environmental degradation and other challenges faced by the region. 'We have to raise issues and point to the Federal Government that they've been unfair to the people of the Niger Delta region.
