ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MILITANCY IN THE NIGER DELTA GOES BEYOND NIGERIAN BOARDER

Ghana

The President of Ghana, John Mahama, cries out as power supply in Ghana crumbles due to the several attack on oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.


The latest mourning came as a result of yesterday’s attack by the Niger Delta Avengers on Chevron facilities at Diogbolo close to Dibi, Warri Local Government Area of Delta States, with the aid of controlled explosive devices.

He made the cut in power supply the country is facing known during his Eid-el-fitr speech at a ceremony, which has been making individuals and corporate bodies to complain.

He attributed the situation to the reappearance of militancy in the oil-rich Niger Delta, with particular reference to the Niger Delta Avengers.



He further stressed that “we have recently suffered some generational problems. I held a stakeholders’ meeting with all those involved in the power sector. Because of sabotage in Nigeria on the terminals, crude oil that we ordered last month has not arrived; and so, it has created some generational problem for us.”
