The Governor of Delta State, His
Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa today welcomed the Vice President, Prof.
Yemi Osibanjo into Delta State through the Osubi Airport, near Warri.
The Vice President who is on a fact finding visit to Delta State,
is to interact with oil bearing communities and stakeholders in the State, as
part of efforts aimed at finding lasting solution to the lingering tension in
the Niger Delta region.
It would be recalled that agitators had in 2016, engaged in
sustained bombings and vandalization of oil installations
and facilities in the Niger Delta, particularly in Delta State, which led to
disruption in oil production, thus impacting negatively on the revenue earnings
of the country.
Prof Yemi Osibanjo, is also expected to
visit other States in the Niger Delta region.
