Award Of Surveillance Contracts To Ex-Militants Will Not Stop Us - Militants

Radicalized Ijaw youth organization, the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, has told the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government that award of surveillance contracts to ex-militants would not solve the problem of attack on oil installations.

The IYC maintained instead that once issue of resource ownership and control is addressed, communities and the people would naturally protect oil pipeline situated in their communities as critical stakeholders.
This was contained in a communique issued in Warri, Delta State and signed by its President, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, and spokesman, Barrister Eric Omare, and made available to newsmen at the end of one-day stakeholders conference to mark the end of the month-long activities in honour of Major Jasper Adaka Boro, with the theme: “The Ideals of Isaac Boro and the Renewed Militancy in the Niger Delta: The Way Forward.”
