The Pan Niger Delta Forum has expressed deep sadness over the demise of Rights Activist, Tony Uranta.
“Tony Uranta’s passing is a big loss for PANDEF, the Niger-Delta Region and Nigeria. He will be greatly missed and remembered for his intellectual strength, passion, genuine commitment and, more especially, for his life-long dedication to issues of the Niger-Delta Region, Human Rights and Justice”. The Forum further stated: “As a founding Member of PANDEF, Tony Uranta, in the Central Working Committee, worked assiduously, contributing to the drafting of the *“16-Point Demand”*, which embodies core and fundamental issues that cut across all segments of the Coastal States of the Niger Delta Region, which PANDEF presented to President Muhammadu Buhari on 1st November 2016, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“Tony Uranta contributed many decades to furthering the patriotic ideals and purposes of the Niger Delta people and Nigerians, through his membership of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, the United Niger-Delta Energy Development Security Strategy, UNDEDSS, and the Nigeria National Summit Group, among several other initiatives.
