Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa said the best way to tackle security issues in the Niger Delta is through the sharing of intelligence and combination of personnel to achieve desired results.
The Governor made the observation (27/07/16) in Asaba when he received the Commander of Operation Delta Safe, Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie who led top officers of the multi-service task force to pay him a courtesy call.
According to the Governor, the activities of militants in the creeks of the Niger Delta region had not only affected the revenue accruing to the federation accounts but Delta State in particular, disclosing, “we are worst hit by the present activities in the creeks; we pray that these activities of militants will stop so that we can maintain oil production without breaches as our revenue has dropped drastically.”
