According to Vanguard, a
source said that the federal government wasn’t serious about restoring peace to
the oil rich region as nothing has been said over the proposed dialogue with
stakeholders in the region.
The temporary peace
agreement between the Federal Government and Niger Delta militants was, over
the weekend, blown apart following the destruction of oil installations by the
Niger Delta Avengers who had earlier expressed their grievance on the way the
government breached and manage the peace process.
The source went ahead to
say that the government had gone on to repair destroyed pipelines despite
warnings from the militants that the pipeline shouldn’t be repaired.
On its part, the Ijaw Youth
Council (IYC) said that the resumption of hostilities between both side was
regrettable. They, however, chastised the President for not taking any tangible
step towards resolving the issue since he returned from his vacation in the UK.
