The Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, on Saturday assured that the proposed
dialogue with the Niger Delta stakeholders has not broken down.
He said the federal government is very
much working to achieve a mutual understanding with Niger Delta
stakeholders through an upcoming dialogue to bring lasting peace and
sustainable development to the oil-rich region.
Kachikwu, who gave the assurance
while speaking with journalists at Effurun, near Warri, debunked rumours
that the anticipated dialogue between the two sides had failed.
The minister, who encouraged Nigerians
not to despair in the face of the prevailing economic challenge facing
the country, also assured that the federal government is doing all that
is needed to end the current suffering through the implementation of
sincere policies and programmes.
