Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is scheduled to commence talks with oil producing communities with series of visits to such communities across some Niger Delta States, starting from Monday, January 16.
A statement by the senior special assistant to the Vice President on media and publicity, Laolu Akande said that Osinbajo would first go to Delta State while at a later date, he would also visit Bayelsa and Rivers States.
According Akande, the Vice President, who would be accompanied by what he called high-level delegations of the Federal Government, will interact with leaders and representatives of the oil-producing communities in continuation of ongoing outreach efforts of the Muhammadu Buhari administration towards a long lasting and permanent resolution of the Niger Delta crisis.
He said that the Buhari presidency believes that these visits would further boost the confidence necessary for the attainment of peace and prosperity in the areas and the Nigerian nation in general. [myad]
