In further demonstration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s readiness and determination to comprehensively address the Niger Delta situation, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will be visiting a number of oil communities across some Niger Delta States starting on Monday.
The visit will begin from Delta State.
At a later date to be announced soon, a statement by the Presidency said on Saturday, Osinbajo would also be visiting Bayelsa and Rivers States.
At these visits, the Vice President, the statement said, will lead high-level delegations of the Federal Government that will interact with leaders and representatives of the oil-producing communities in continuation of ongoing outreach efforts of the Buhari administration towards a long lasting and permanent resolution of the Niger Delta crisis.
The statement said the Buhari presidency is fully committed to having an effective dialogue and positive engagement that will end the crisis in the oil-producing areas and believes that these visits would further boost the confidence necessary for the attainment of peace and prosperity in the areas and the Nigerian nation in general.
