The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Ita Enang has urged the Niger Delta Youth Council to be active in making cases that ensure that all the regions of the country benefit from Federal Government Development Programmes. Senator Ita Enang gave the charge when the Niger Delta Youth Council paid him a courtesy call in Abuja. On the need to protect the Niger Delta shoreline, he said that the Presidency is concerned on the question of shoreline protection, but however, noted that shoreline protection alone will not solve the problem of the Niger Delta region. The SSA called on the Niger Delta Youths to be concerned about this and bring about suggestions of replacement or resettlement of some communities because definitely, some communities have been submerged by the earth-crust. Earlier The President-General of the Niger Delta Youth Council of Nigeria, Comrade Ebiesuwa Samuel Esa called on the President Buhari to assist the region in infrastructural development land reclamation.
