The minister for Niger Delta, Usani Usani Uguru, has alleged that elites from the Niger Delta and other regions in the country are responsible for the ongoing crisis in the Niger Delta.
The minister stated this in a recent interview with journalists.
He said: “The crisis is traceable to the elite from the region and other sections of the country.
“They are doing that for various reasons which are not connected to the Niger Delta improvement.”
The minister added that the government is working towards a solution to the ongoing crisis.
“To suggest that there is no solution is against my faith; there is nothing God cannot do. I know there is a solution and we are working towards it.
“I am bold to let you know that some elite in the country want to take advantage of this to get recognition; that is why the issue of militancy has continued. The approaches we are adopting to end the crisis are strategic.
“To begin to tell you what we are doing will not be okay. When you give out information, it means you must be able to manage it. We are getting down to the roots,”he added.
