Ndokwa youths protest marginalization by FG
THOUSANDS of youths of the Ndokwa nation, yesterday, barricaded the Ogume junction axis of the Ughell-Asaba expressway, protesting their alleged marginalization by the Federal Government.
Recall that the youth wing of Ndokwa Neku Union, NNU, had on 27 July, 2020, issued a two-week ultimatum to the Federal Government accede to their demands, failing which it would bring oil companies operating in the Ndokwa nation to their knees.
The protesters who disrupted vehicular movements for over six hours, said the ultimatum ended on Monday, lamenting that oil prospecting activities started in the area by Agip before the civil War with no infrastructure in the area except a Correctional Centre built in 1905.
Speaking on behalf of the protesters, Comrade Anslem Nzete said “we gave the Federal Government two weeks ultimatum which expired on Monday, but the Federal Government has no respect for the peaceful people of Ndokwa nation
