Delta State Government set up a 36-man committee

 Delta State Government has set up a 36-man committee comprising community representatives from the various communities in the Oil Mining Lease 30 to capture areas of disagreement in the signed Global Memoranda of Understanding, GMOU.


   The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice,  Peter Mrakpor, announced the composition of the committee during a town hall meeting with President- Generals and Community Development Board of host communities in OML 30.

   According to Mrakpor, the town hall meeting was convened by his ministry to address all the contentious issues arising from the execution of the GMOU between the host communities in OML 30 and NPDC as well as to discuss the proposed takeover of operations by Heritage Cooperation from NPDC.

   The communities include Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw and Itsekiri at the town hall meeting held at the Government House Annex in Warri.

The committee was later given one week to articulate and submit the position of the communities to the Office of the Attorney-General.
