We'll Rebuild The Niger Delta, Buhari Assures

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration would rebuild Nigeria,

including the Niger Delta region, and therefore solicits patience and

understanding from the citizenry.
Receiving a delegation of Niger Delta Dialogue and Contact Group, led by

His Royal Highness, King Alfred Diette-Spiff, the Amanyanabo of Twon

Brass, Bayelsa State, at State House, Abuja, Thursday, President Buhari

pledged that under his watch Nigeria will witness judicious utilization of

resources.
“We intend to rebuild this country; so that our children and

grand-children will have a good place they can call their own. A lot of

damage has been done, so I want you to tell the people to be patient.

“When you get together with other leaders, please pacify the people. We

will utilize the resources of Nigeria with integrity and rebuild the

country.”
The President said the gazette on the Niger Delta amnesty programme by the

Umaru Yar’Adua administration is being studied with a view to determining

what had been fulfilled, promising that whatever is left would equally be

addressed.
“I want to get as much intelligence as possible on the situation in the

Niger Delta. I have encouraged law enforcement agencies to contact leaders

like you in order to have enough information to deal with the issues once

and for all, “the President said.
He sympathized with investors who borrowed lots of money to invest in the

Niger Delta region and have not recouped their investments due to

insecurity.
He used the occasion of his audience with the Group to reiterate his

appeal to those who perpetrate violence to embrace peace and give

government a chance.
The leader of the Group, King Alfred Diette-Spiff, said the group was made

of peace builders, dedicated to peace and stability in the region.
