Nigerian Army brought peace, stability to Niger
Delta—Prof. Dokubu
The Nigerian Army (NA) has contributed significantly to the
relative peace and stability enjoined in the Niger Delta, which has
helped provide maximum security to the people of the area and also
secured critical natural infrastructure in the region, says
Professor Charles Dokubu.
Prof. Dokubu, who is the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty
Program, disclosed this at the Army Headquarters, when he paid a
courtesy call to the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General
Tukur Yusuf Buratai.
“Our region is now relatively calm, peaceful and safe. We now
have streams of developmental projects and activities taking place
in Niger Delta. And this was made possible by the remarkable
contributions of the Army and other security agencies who provided
maximum security to the people of Niger Delta and their properties.
They have also provided adequate security for the oil companies and
exploration activities to thrive in our region. In a nutshell, they
have provided an enabling environment for peace, security,
stability and development of our richly-endowed Niger Delta
region,” he said.
Prof. Dokubu, while appreciating the leadership and men of NA
for their outstanding contribution towards safeguarding lives and
properties in N/Delta, he solicited for more cooperation,
partnership and collaboration from the Army to facilitate the
entrenchment of lasting peace which will fast-track socio-economic
development.
Buratai, who was represented by the Army’s Chief of Policy and
Plans, Lt. Gen. Lamidi O. Adeosun, expressed appreciation for the
‘auspicious’ visit, saying NA will not relent in protecting the
country, her teeming citizenry and valuable property from any
internal or foreign aggression.
The COAS, further assured Prof. Dokubu of Army’s commitment to
effectively partner with the Amnesty Program’s team in order for
them to actualize their set objectives and clear-cut goals.
Other senior officers at the occasion include the Army’s Chief
of Training and Operations, Maj. Gen. SA Adebayo, and the Acting
Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sagir Musa, among
others.
