President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja assured oil companies operating in the Niger Delta that the Federal Government is taking all necessary actions to protect strategic assets in the region from vandals and criminals.

Speaking at a meeting with the Global Director (Upstream) of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, Mr. Andrew Brown, President Buhari said that he has directed the Chief of Naval Staff to reorganise and strengthen the military Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Niger Delta to deal effectively with the resurgence of militancy and the sabotage of oil installations.

The President told Mr. Brown that the operations of the JTF were also being enhanced with increased support and cooperation from the United States and Europe in the areas of training, intelligence, equipment and logistics.

"We have to be very serious with the situation in the Niger Delta because it threatens the national economy. I assure you that everything possible will be done to protect personnel and oil assets in the region," President Buhari said.

The President urged aggrieved persons, militants and communities in the Niger Delta to drop their confrontational stance and work with those who have been charged by the Federal Government to review the Amnesty Programme initiated by the Yar'Adua Administration for the benefit of all parties.

President Buhari praised the resilience and staying power of Shell in Nigeria despite the operational challenges of the environment .

He urged the company to do its best to end gas-flaring in the Niger Delta quickly and produce more gas for electricity generation to support manufacturing and job creation in the country.

Mr. Brown had appealed for an urgent solution to rising crime and militancy in the Niger Delta.
The Shell Executive also dispelled speculations that the company was pulling out of Nigeria.

He said that contrary to such speculations, Shell was currently in discussions with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on new joint oil and gas projects.

The imperialist who brought him to power came to give him a powerful message, that is, negotiate with this guys...and he has to comply, if he fails to comply, they know the next line of action. And as a stooge that he is, he got the message, reason for the change of tone.

Lordave:
Those guys are not bombing because of Biafra, don't draw attention to Igbos on what does not concern them.

Address the message or better shut up.

well the bitter truth is that, it's part of their demand. So deal with that.

Clueless president, I tut u promised to crush them? I regret voting u. u must #bringbackmyvote

He's confused sef,does he want to negotiate or he wants to share intelligence with the US?

What do u gain from that?

No side of this PMB government is good at all. Market women are crying, employer are sacking, labour are protesting, Niger Deltan Avengers are bombing, Fulani Herdsmen are killing, APC are telling lies, the rich cannot access Forex, the poor are getting poorer, hunger every where, darkness every where, fuel are increasing, Millions of graduate in Labour Market, business owner are closing shop, employer are angry, Noting is working ETC. I call on PMB to just resign or National Assembly should as a matter of urgency impeach this man before it too late my humble opinion.
