I listened to the young men and women who described in detail some of the issues they have experienced as residents in the oil producing communities. I also laid out President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision for the Niger Delta.
It is time for action. The future is here. There is no time to waste.

Together, Nigeria will prevail.”
