The Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) and South-South Elders’ Forum have berated Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, for saying that International Oil Companies (IOCs) cannot relocate to the Niger Delta region due to insecurity and violence.

But National Publicity Secretary of PANDEF, Ken Robinson, said Sylva’s argument that the IOCs could not relocate to the Niger Delta Region due to insecurity was not only fallacious, but also provocative.

PANDEF recalled that Sylva made similar remarks when the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Board, visited Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike in August last year. He lamented that the Niger Delta people had continued to suffer the adverse effects of oil and gas exploration, stressing that the region’s ecosystem and the people’s means of livelihood have been degraded with little or no improvement in their living standard.
