Nigeria and the Niger Delta Avengers, the militant group that has been attacking oil pipelines in the Niger Delta region, on Wednesday agreed during a secret meeting to pursue dialogue to end the violence, which has reduced Nigeria's daily oil production to 680,000 barrels per day.
The meeting was held at the Governor's Office in Asaba, Delta State between Nigeria's Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, with representatives of Niger Delta Avengers and other militant groups.
A copy of the communique of the meeting obtained by SaharaReporters shows that the meeting also had in attendance the Delta State Governor, Patrick Ifeanyi Okowa; an Itsekiri militant leader, Ayirimi Emami; a representative of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Michael Johny;and two persons representing the interest of the Niger Delta Avengers: Gbeneka Godspwoer and Dan Ekpebide.
A source at the meeting said that from all indications at the meeting the Delta State Governor and Mr. Kachikwu clearly knew who the ND Avengers are, and had brought in Ayiri, who is an Itsekiri militant, as a way of reconciling both sides.
Kachikwu as a son of the Niger Delta is taking good steps to resolve the current issues in the Niger Delta in the interest of the nation.
