to relocate military chiefs to the Niger Delta to halt crude oil theft and generate more revenue for the country.
Osifo said: “We have tried to let government understand that they need to pay more attention to what’s happening in the Niger Delta. We’re talking about solid minerals they are quite good, we are talking about diversification they are quite good but they cannot come overnight. The easiest solution and what can come readily overnight is actually incremental production of crude oil today.
Condemning the killing of military personnel at Okuama community in Delta state, Osifo urged the military to approach the situation with caution to avoid a repeat of what happened in Zaki Biam and Odi, while ensuring perpetrators of the act were caught and justice served.The PENGASSAN President also expressed concerns over government’s explanation of only increasing the electricity tarriff of those within Band A and enjoying 20 hours light.
He said: “We are cross – examining it. They said it’s for those within Band A and those within Band A are those that are receiving 20 hours light in a day, but we are to interrogate this further because as of today, just jumping from N66 to about N225 is quite enormous.
