Niger Delta Deserves a Better Deal- Osinbajo

Nigerians in the Niger Delta deserve a fair deal, according to the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, who outlined the vision of the Buhari administration and why it would depart from past leadership and governance failures in the region.

Prof. Osinbajo said President Muhammadu Buhari is now advocating a New Vision for the people of the Niger Delta.

The vice-president who went on several trouble-shooting missions to the Niger Delta spoke today at the Presidential Villa while chairing an inter-ministerial follow-up meeting with relevant government ministries, departments and agencies involved in the Niger Delta.

“The President believes the people of the Niger Delta deserve justice, and for me also it is a very important point,” the Vice President stated adding that the state of the region and the suffering of the people does not reflect the fact that “it is the resource base of the country.”

“In spite of the past leadership failure, the Niger Delta people deserved a fair deal,” Osinbajo added.
