The Niger Delta Coastline Vanguard (NDCV) has commended President Bola Tinubu on a state private visit to Owo, Ondo State and called for protection of pipelines in the state.
The president visited the families of the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, Olowo of Owo Kingdom, Oba Ajibade Ogunoye, and Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye to commiserate with the Olowo-in-Council.
The leader of Niger Delta Coastline Vanguards, Akogun Omotuwa Job, made commendation during the council meeting in Akure.
“The ex-militants of Ilaje in the South West region are ready to work with the security agency to put an end to pipeline vandalism in the region. The NDCV are peace-loving people and want to be in charge of our waterway and oil pipeline line security as the longest coaster line in the whole Niger Delta region.
“We urge the federal government to allow indigenous members of the community to guide the pipeline in their region.
The llaje should take care of the waterway from Ilaje to Ogun and Lagos State to avoid a crisis,” Job said.
He said the NDCV would partner the federal government to ensure an increase in production so that our exports will outweigh our imports.
The NDCV also appealed to Nigerians to be more patient with the Tinubu administration on the economic reforms and hardship being experienced across the country, noting that steps are being taken to address the economic hardship in the country.
