President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday in Abuja said that his administration will look into the constitutional 13 percent derivation benefit to the Niger Delta region to ensure even spread of developmental projects that meet the needs of the people.
Receiving Isoko Traditional Rulers and personalities led by His Majesty Ovrawah, Omogha 1, Odiologbo of Oleh, at the Presidential Villa, President Buhari assured the royal fathers that the constitutional provisions for Niger Delta development will be carefully studied for inclusiveness, especially in the prioritization of Federal Government projects.
“I have listened attentively to your address and I will still update myself with details of development in your area as it relates to oil and gas, and lack of infrastructure.
“I will look at the constitutional 13 percent derivation and what previous governments have done, in order to know what our government will do to genuinely meet the needs of the people of the Niger Delta region.
