Ijaw leaders have promised the Nigerian government that it could end the issue of militancy in the oil-rich Niger Delta region in 30 days if its conditions are met.
Speaking through the president of the Ijaw National Congress, INC, Chief Charles Harry, the group promised to end the menace in the region if the Federal Government assures it that all military actions and hostilities in the region will be ceased.
Vanguard reports that the INC president, while speaking on Friday, August 12, 2016 at the group’s secretariat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, urged the president to cease military action in the region as the area had lost enough youths.
“We ask for peace to return to the region; shooting and bombings can be resolved in 30 days,” he said.
