From EMMANUEL OGOIGBE, Warri

Comrade Sheriff Mulade, the National Co-ordinator of Centre for Peace and Environmental Justice has blamed the failure to meet needs of the oil bearing communities on woeful performances of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs and the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Commission (DESOPADEC).

Mulade in an interview with Daily Sun in Warri, lambasted the handlers of the three corporate organizations and urged them to redouble their efforts in order to be relevant to the purpose for they were established. He spoke on some burning issues concerning the parastatals that, “it is a pity that the ministry set up by late Musa Yar’Adua has failed woefully. The present headship is not doing anything. They keep on saying that there is a master plan for Niger Delta region. Honestly speaking, we don’t need master plan, rather, we need master action to develop the place. We have gone beyond unworkable programme.
