Itsekiri, under the aegis of Save Itsekiri Group, SIG, have alleged that Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, has failed them.
.
The group said that although the Itsekiri nation received the highest allocation among the oil- producing areas, based on oil production quota, it was the least developed.
.
In a statement by Mr. Johnson Madendo, Chairman, and Mr. Omagbemi Anuwe, Secretary, entitled DESOPADEC has failed Itsekiri, the group said:
.
"Outside the first Itsekiri Oil Producing Area Commissioner, Engr. Toritsemotse, subsequent people given the responsibility to develop the Itsekiri nation have failed us woefully.
.
"Subsequent commissioners have busied themselves in either bogus or white elephant projects.
.
"They are clearing non-existent creeks, building police station or renovating Warri Club, which has no bearing on the development of oil producing areas."
Well such things can be improved very much in the state so let's just wait and see how it will all pan out. They can only hope for the best!
