    president-muhammadu-buhariPresident Buhari met elders from the Niger Delta region on Tuesday, November 1, 2016.

    This is in a bid to find a lasting solution to the lingering crisis and alleged degradation of the environment in the oil rich region.

    Speaking to newsmen on the meeting, the Minister of state for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu said negotiations will continue to ensure that militancy in the region stops.

    According to Punch, Kachikwu said “The threat to the nation’s gas supply from militants and insurgency in the Niger Delta were critical and thought-provoking, stressing that the government was trying to address the situation and others through negotiations with various stakeholders in the Niger Delta.”
