Niger Delta Avengers reportedly agree to dialogue with FG

Militant group, Niger Delta Avengers, have reportedly agreed
to dialogue with the Federal government to find a solution to
the lingering crisis in the Niger Delta region. This development
is contained in a statement released today by the spokesman
for the dialogue group, Ballantyne Agiri. The statement in part
reads:
“The body has collectively and willingly agreed to heed
the clarion call of eminent Nigerians and international
community to dialogue with the Federal Government.
The federal government should from the inception of
the dialogue rule out from the agenda any monthly
monetary inducement or stipend for the NDA.
The federal government should be ready for structural
changes that should be human and development
oriented. Members of the avengers’ group (who will
participate in the dialogue) have already been selected,
each based on his integrity, forthrightness, honesty
and life track records. The names of members of the
group for now shall not be made public for personal
reasons until they begin functioning in few days
ahead.”
