The government of President Muhammadu Buhari has announced an agreement with former Niger Delta militants.

Boroh said this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday, May 28.
He advised the agitators to talk with the relevant authorities over their challenges and stop destruction of oil facilities.
Buhari’s adviser gave the assurance that plans were in the line to create welfare and a housing scheme in addition to the existing programme and projects.
He underlined the need to find enduring solutions to the ongoing crisid in the region.
“Personally it makes me feel bad that we don’t know how to solve our problem,” Mr.Boroh said.
“To you my comrades, it is our responsibility to make sure that insecurity in our environment is well sorted out. Please let us do everything we can to make sure that doesn’t occur again.”
“We have all resolved that we will put our heads and hands and all in all together to prevent the re-occurrence of this type of thing”, he said.
“Collectively we (Federal Government and ex-militants) have agreed to work as a team to prevent re-occurrence. “We feel bad that it is happening, it is affecting our economy and it is affecting development and we are very concern about it.”
