Delta communities give Buhari 9 days to address demands or face shutdown of oil, gas industry

By -
(Nigeria) Omadino Federated Communities, compromising communities in Warri South, Warri South-West and Warri North Local Government Areas in Delta State, yesterday,  gave a 9-day ultimatum to the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, to address a 10-point demand effective June 30, or face complete shutdown of operations in oil and gas sector.
The communities, which comprise of Ode-Omadino, Esungbo, Egwa tie, Egwa kporo, Aghigho, Ogheye-Akpata, Ubaeyin, Eyin-ogbe, Ubakporo, Oteghele, Ukpokiti, Uba- Okorotie, Okerenghigho, Uba-kokodie and Ugbokoko in the three Warri LGAs, in a petition addressed to President Buhari, accused his administration of gross marginalisation of its people.
The petition by Roland Oti Yomere, Chief Priest of Omadino  and spokesman of Omadino Federated Communities and Tsaye Mene, outlined areas of marginalisation requiring President Buhari’s urgent attention to include: halting the current process of bids for the 57 Marginal Fields and come up with new modalities, where competent companies owned by Omadino indigenes as well as other Itsekiri sons and daughters, would be given "right of first refusal.”
The oil-rich Itsekiri communities, also want “Proper renaming of the Nigerian Maritime University to 'Okerenghigho' as opposed to the corrupted name 'Okerenkoko' to reflect the Supreme Court judgment in accordance to the rule of law and properly compensate our people.”
Calling on Buhari to order immediate resumption of work at the multi-billion dollar Gas Revolution Industrial Park Project, GRIP and Deep Sea Port in Warri South- West LGA,  the petitioners also asked the Federal Government to direct the relevant MDAs/IOCs to embark on large scale shore protection/sand-filling projects in all Omadino communities and other Itsekiri riverine/oil producing communities.
Their other demands include immediate institution of the process for the facilitation of the abandoned age-long Omadino - Escravos (Ugborodo) Road; electrification of the Federated Omadino Communities and other Itsekiri riverine communities; employment of Omadino and other eminently qualified Itsekiri graduates and technicians to reflect the Local Content Act in NNPC, NPDC, NGC and the IOCs; immediate relocation of the corporate offices of the IOCs to Omadino lands as well as restart of the abandoned Sapele-Ughuoton -Omadino Bye-Pass Road.
