Niger Delta people have been charged to keep alive the dreams behind the Niger Delta question and agitation, which late Senator Etang Umoyo stood for. “Questions such as regional integration and resource control will remain dominant within the context of the emerging Nigeria, and these were some of the thoughts that the late Umoyo shared in his life and times. “He was fearless and he devoted his intellectual ability towards fighting for a better Nigeria and to this extent, his life also exemplified a challenge to intellectuals that you don’t just live a life of detachment. If you are an intellectual, you have to work with others towards a better society and you don’t retreat into a cocoon. But you must bring your capacity to bear in remaking Nigeria”.
