Others were; the Rivers State Ethnic Youth Leaders Coalition (RSEYLC), Izon Peace Movement (IPM) the Ogoni Youth Federation (OYF), the Movement for the Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) and several other youth groups.

 

Speaking during the meeting, MOSIEND National President, Kennedy Tonjo West, said the tension is further heightened by the fact that the position of Sole Administrator was not a provision in the Act that established the NDDC.

West said: “You will agree with me that one of the palliatives of all our agitation was the establishment of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), whose core mandate is to train, educate and empower the youths of the oil-rich Niger Delta region to curb hostilities and militancy while developing key infrastructure to promote diversification and productivity.
