Youths protest shutting of Niger Delta ministry in Imo




Scores of the youths of the oil producing communities in Imo State on Monday stormed the state liaison office of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs in Owerri, demanding that the office be opened to the people of the state.

The youths had stormed the office and met the gates of the office under locks and keys

Acting under the aegis of Niger Delta Youth Movement, the aggrieved youths alleged that the office had remained close for over two years with the staff only coming to the work any time there were visits by officers from Abuja.

They accused the state coordinator of the ministry of renting rooms in the office out because of lack of workers.

Speaking to journalists at the office at Number 27 Okigwe Layout, Owerri, leader of the youths, Prince Iyasara Ifeanyi alleged that the youths of the oil producing communities had not been able to access whoever is the state coordinator or any other workers in the past two years
