Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Wike says the state government will grant amnesty to cultists who laid
down their arms and embrace peace.
Governor Wike stated
this in Government House when members of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and
Natural Gas Workers paid him a visit in Port Harcourt.
Governor Wike maintained
that the State Government was working with security agencies to ensure the
state was safe for investment.
The Governor also advised
Labour unions to look for other means of stating their grievances rather than
strike as it affects the economy.
He promised to assist NUPENG
in the construction of a tanker village in Eleme to address parking of trucks
along the road.
Earlier, the President
of NUPENG, Mr. Igwe Achese appealed to the Governor to facilitate the release
of Certificate of Occupancy for the project.
Mr. Achese commended the
State Government for its intervention during the crisis between the union and
some oil companies in the state.
