The Coalition of Niger Delta Youth
Leaders has appealed to the youths in
the Niger Delta Region to embrace peace and give the Federal Government
all the needed support to bring peace
to the Region. The appeal was contained in the speech by the Leader
of the Youth Coalition, Comrade Emeni
Ibe when the group visited the
Defence Headquarters.
Comrade Ibe said that the Niger Delta Youth Leaders were in Defence
Headquarters to add their voice to
many other patriotic citizens of our
great nation who were commending the
military for subduing terrorism and
other vices across the nation.
The Youth group pledged its unflinching support to the amnesty
programme of the Federal Government
which it noted has helped many youths of the area in the field of training and education with many of erstwhile agitators now economically independent. The Team Leader called
on co-Niger Delta youth comrades to
shield their swords and embrace dialogue with the government to bring
lasting peace and development to the
Niger Delta Region. He maintained
that there can never be any development in the absence of peace.
While thanking the Youth Leaders for
the gesture, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin,
who was represented by the Chief of
Policy and Plans at Defence
Headquarters, Air Vice Marshal Bashir
Saidu, said that what Nigeria required at this time is peace to bring about development and to attract foreign investors to our dear nations. He appealed to other youths in the Niger Delta to emulate the Coalition of Youth Leaders by supporting the effort of government for rapid development in the Niger Delta region.
