Fashola Advocates Peace in Niger Delta

Against the backdrop of constant sabotage of gas pipelines in the Niger Delta region, the Minister of  Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, made a call for peace in the area, stating that security of gas pipelines would lead to generation of additional 3,000MW, which  “ will give comfort to small businesses, villages, communities, and welders.”

The Minister made this call during his tour of Federal Projects across the South – South States of the Country, further adding that the grievances of those who sabotage the pipelines was equally important. “You will see that in the last few days, the Acting President has been particularly busy in this area trying to reach out to communities to see what methods and efforts would bring peace; because that is really when we will begin to talk of the economy and prosperity, when we have peace”.
