As Federal Government increases its efforts aimed at finding lasting solution to the crisis in the Niger Delta that has led to the loss of about 700,000 barrels of crude oil daily, the European Union has indicated interest in partnering with the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs.
This was revealed at meeting between the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani and a delegation from the European Union and the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) led by Michel Arrion.
Expressing his delight at the proposed collaboration, Usani reiterated the commitment of the Federal Government at curbing the crisis as part of efforts to sustain the development of the region.
