Niger Delta youth groups on Sunday commended the Minister
of State for Petroleum Resources Dr Ibe Kachikwu for his multi-faceted
peace-seeking and reconciliatory initiatives in the region.
The youths under the auspices of The Niger Delta Youth
Coalition for Peace and Progress (NGYCPP) praised Kachikwu’s efforts at uniting
the people of the Niger Delta and re-orientating their mindset towards the
collective development of the area.
The group made the commendation in a communiqué after a l
meeting in Yenegoa, signed by the Acting Chairman of the coalition Tiedor
Olayinka Jude and the Acting Secretary Rev Igoaso Victor Omuaru.
“NGYCPP resolved to galvanize our teeming
members across the length and breadth of the region and other notable youth
groups to support our son and brother, who is doing so well in shaping and
transforming the once ailing oil sector for international standard and best
practices.” The group said.
NGYCPP noted that since Kachikwu came on board initially
as GMD, NNPC and later as Minister of State Petroleum Resources, he has raised
the bar of performance to a level that is difficult to beat.
“We want to specially
thank president Mohammadu Buhari and the APC led government at the centre for
discovering and giving him the opportunity to serve his country.
“We make bold to say that Dr. Ibe Kachikwu has won our
hearts, we totally agree with other notable groups who adjudged him the best
minister that has ever emerged from the region in recent times,” NGYCPP said.
The group observed that but for Kachikwu’s strategic
efforts, the Niger Delta region would still be experiencing all manner of
hydra-headed crises.
It noted that Kachikwu’s many trips to the creeks preaching forgiveness, peace and development
has resulted to gradual return of peace to the region.
The group also gave kudos to Kachikwu for his open-door
policy, his loyalty to the authorities, his sincerity to the grassroots and the
manner he is aligning the policies of the centre to the grassroots.
