According to him, the review would go a long way towards tackling the ongoing crisis between oil companies and their host communities.
A statement sent to DAILY POST by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, quoted the governor as saying that oil-producing states and local governments are now being called upon to intervene in resolving issues between the oil companies and their host communities. “In recent times, we have started seeing crises between the communities and oil companies over the signing of Memorandum of Understanding and other issues. And the state governments have been called to intervene. So that act needs further amendment.”
He said: “While as a government, we would not support anybody involved in oil theft, illegal oil refining, and all other acts that contribute to pollution, underdevelopment, and killings, we would also like to state that the best way to tackle the issues is to fast-track development in these areas. We can assure you that these same people will become protectors of oil installations domiciled in the Niger Delta.
