Buhari To Meet Niger Delta Group Today

Representatives of some Niger Delta militant groups would on Tuesday meet with President Muhammadu Buhari to find a way out of the crisis in the region.

The meeting which is holding for the first time with the President attending is to find a way of ending militancy in the oil rich region.

The meeting would involve all the governors, ministers and other political appointees from the Niger Delta region and traditional rulers.

Mallam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media said the meeting would commence at noon.

However, the violent Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), has kicked against some of those representing the militants.

They are particularly unhappy with the leadership of Chief E. K. Clark, who is said to be leading the team representing the militants.
