The Federal Government has said that the Niger Delta Avengers are bombing the petroleum facilities in the oil-rich region due to the President Muhammadu Buhari’s stance on anticorruption crusade. It expressed optimism that the challenges posed by the destruction of the pipelines would soon be overcome. Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the disclosure yesterday at a Ramadan Lecture held in honour of late Kafaru Tinubu at the Eko FM, Agidingbi, saying that in spite of the challenges confronting the nation,the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration is making so much sacrifice to better the lots of Nigerians, especially the less privileged and other vulnerable. “The main reason they are against this government is because they are opposed to our anticorruption war. They want us to go back to the old ways of corruption where the nation’s wealth will be shared by the few in government. President Buhari believes that public’s wealth shouldn’t be squandered, but we are very sure that the truth will prevail. Despite the challenges, the current government is not resting on its oars. I want to assure you that this government is pro- people,” the minister said. Speaking on the theme of the lecture, “Supreme Sacrifice and the Essence of Followership in Governance,” Mohammed said N500 billion set aside for the poor and the less privilege would be judiciously used to better the lots of the Nigerian masses, adding that 500,000 unemployed graduates will be employed and trained. The minister blamed the current economic challenges on the activities of the militants in the Niger Delta, saying that activities of the Avengers had further compounded the problems in the power sector as the nation is finding it difficult to generate 2,000 megawatts. According to him, “This government is making a lot of sacrifice to ensure Nigerians feel its impact. The power won’t be stable because gas is used in powering the plants. But the destructive individuals called Avengers; they have destroyed almost all the pipelines such that out 5,000 megawatts that we are capable of generating, the continued destruction of the pipeline has made it difficult to generate 2,000 megawatts. “It is not only the power that was affected by this; the economy is also affected because today, one million barrel of oil cannot be produced because of the activities of the Avengers, but we are optimistic that we will overcome them.”
