Clark urges return of East-West Roadto Works

Ijaw leader Chief Edwin  Clark yesterday urged President Goodluck Jonathan to return the East-West road being handled by the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to the Ministry of Works.

Clark spoke at an interdenominational thanksgiving service/reception organised in honour of former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Pastor Power Aginighan.

He said the Niger Delta Ministry has become a toothless dog that can only bark but cannot bite.

He said: “The ministry is faced with a lot of internal problems, so if allowed to carry on with the project, even for 10 years, it cannot be completed.

“The Niger Delta has not seen any changes in President Jonathan’s administration in terms of massive infrastructural development.
