The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation NDRO has commended
the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Pastor Usani Usani Uguru over his recent
tour of Niger Delta states. The group urged the Minister to ensure that the
abandoned East West road is completed under his watch.
The group while congratulating Pastor Usani Uguru over his
appointment as minister in charge of Niger Delta Affairs said he has started on
a good footing. The group said with the tour of Niger Delta states, the
ministry will be able to appreciate the challenges facing the region and proffer
better solutions.
The group in the statement signed by its National Coordinator
Comrade Nwokoma Messiah said it has strong faith that Pastor Usani Uguru will
do well in his position as Minister especially with the efforts he has shown so
far. It said it is regrettable that previous ministers that occupied the office
did nothing concrete to position the ministry for better performance. The NDRO
specifically criticized the stay of Godswill Orubebe as minister over what it
termed lack of commitment to the development of the Niger Delta region.
While calling for the probe of the previous ministers that
steered the activities of the ministry, the Niger Delta Renaissance
Organisation NDRO urged the Minister to ensure that the almost abandoned East
West road is completed during his tenure. “Pastor Usani Usani who has been in
the opposition for a long time and has seen the rots in the system can etch his
name in gold as far as the Niger Delta region is concerned if he ensures that
the road is completed. This will give the people confidence and endear them to
the present administration. It is also imperative that the ministry under him
take the issue of human capacity development seriously. Hopefully, it is our belief
that with the way he has started he will achieve all these. We are also urging
all stakeholders irrespective of party affiliations to support him achieve these”.
The statement added.
