This J.B can be so selfish and naive at times,
You are constructing a federal government project in my fatherland.. And you don't want my people to benefit out of it, what nonsense.

This false sense of entitlement the the reason development will be stalled in the Niger delta. If host community wants to benefit from project in your fatherland, they should have negotiated with the Federal government and the contractor before the commencement of the project. It is wrong to allow the contractor mobilise to site only for the youths to threaten them, it's shear blackmail.

I was involved in a project to build a maternity clinic in efurope very close to Oghara. The youths mobilised to site with cutlasses giving us conditions before we are allowed to commence work. They insist we pay "deve" levy and hire their boys. I paid deve levy of N150,000, but I insisted on using the workers I brought with me.The greatest mistake anyone would make in executing a contract in the Niger delta is hiring local workers, especially labourers and bricklayers. They would work lackadaisically and expect higher wages.

This is a project the people has been clamouring for over 40 years. If the contractor should leave site and the project abandoned, the same people will blame the government for marginalising the region.

julius berger has alway been like that,just like a slave camp.

Their grievances should be addressed for peace to reign.

Only in Nigeria would a PRIVATE company be executing a project, and be expected to be a Local Govt....
Meanwhile, the people actually elected and PAID to do the job of Local Govt are doing squat and being hailed by the Masses!

The community "leaders" are more concerned with their own pockets than public infrastructure...

Greed and foolishness will finish you people. A project that promises to transform your region, you're stopping for trivial issues
