Federal Government to take urgent measures to include Abia State in the amnesty programme

 

   Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said the Federal Government would take urgent measures to include Abia State in the amnesty programme designed for oil-producing areas.

   Osinbajo stated this yesterday in Umuahia during a town hall meeting with representatives of groups from oil-producing communities in the state, comprising traditional rulers, women and youth groups.
   He said the federal government and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs would work hand-in-hand with the state government to ensure that beneficiaries of the amnesty programme hailed from Asa, the oil-producing area of Ukwa West local government area of the state.
