Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has commended the Federal Government for awarding the oil facilities surveillance contract to a firm owned by Chief Government Ekpemupolo, an indigene of the Niger Delta.
The CPS to Governor Okowa, Mr. Olisa Ifeajika, made the commendation at a news conference in Asaba and also noted that members of host communities that suffer the severe impact of oil exploration become partners in the processes of oil exploration and benefit from the proceeds.
“We want to commend the Federal Government for involving host communities in the policing of oil facilities and checking oil theft and other vices that occur in the Niger Delta,” Governor Okowa said.
