Delta Ijaw Women Prefer Operation Rapid Development, to Operation Crocodile Smile



  

    A pressure group in Delta Ijaw Women Initiative DIWI, has urged the Nigerian Army to keep soldiers away from the riverine communities, adding that, what women in the oil communities require is development and peace, not Operation Crocodile Smile that military authorities plan to launch in the South-South and parts of the South-West.

   President, DIWI,  Ebimaye Bebenimibo, who stated this in Warri, Delta State, while reacting to a statement by Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, that the army was set to launch Operation Crocodile Smile II, in the South-South and some parts of the South-West, said that the women will rather prefer the army to launch Operation Massive Development in the oil region.

    She called on the relevant authorities, especially the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, to ensure such exercise does not take place in the riverine communities to the detriment of the good and law-abiding people of the Niger Delta Region.

   According to her some of the projects they are especting the current administration to speeding fast track in the region include the Nigeria Maritime University, the Deep Sea Port and the Export Processing Zone, EPZ.
