It should have two venues....in Abuja and in a Niger Delta state to benefit the common NigerDeltans

In your wildest dream, I guess.?

sulaak:
It should have only one venue in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta should be requesting that the NNPCL should be relocated to the Niger Delta; this will relocate billions of businesses to that region.
