US cautions against militancy in Niger-Delta

  The outgoing Deputy Consul-General of the United States in Lagos, Ms Dehab Ghebreab, on Tuesday, advised Niger-Delta youths to desist from every form of militancy.

  Ghebreab told newsmen in Lagos that it was imperative for the militants to channel their grievances to the government, rather than engaging in the destruction of facilities.
  “Youths in the Niger-Delta should not resort to violence because violence is really destructive.   “ They need to know that violence or militancy does not only affect people living in their region, but may also affect other countries. “They should know that foreign companies are also doing businesses in Nigeria and that some may just want to come to Nigeria, but would only be ready to invest in places where their businesses would be safe,’’ she said.
  Ghebreab, who noted the Federal Government’s ongoing efforts at ensuring peace in the region, enjoined the government to redouble its efforts at making the planned dialogue with the militants a reality. The U.S. official said that through dialogue, the Nigerian government would be able to come to terms with the militants’ grievances, and see to the possibility of addressing their needs and aspirations.
