The plea was made by Deputy Governor, Gboribiogha John-Jonah on Tuesday, May 31, 2016, Vanguard reports.
“A lot of destruction has happened, therefore we are not expecting any improvement due to the current situation in the Niger Delta. The future is not that bright even if indicators point towards that direction,” he said.
“Already, the Trans-Niger trunk line and Nembe Creek 1,2 and 3, trunk line located in Bayelsa State which link the Bonny Terminal have been affected. We are appealing to our brothers and sisters that in addition to the ecology, the damage is quite devastating to us as a state,” he added.
