Yenagoa—A Bayelsa State House of Assembly member, representing Brass Constituency I, Israel Sunny-Goli, has advised the people of the Niger Delta against sabotage of oil facilities.
Rather, he said, they should support the current efforts by the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu and the Federal Government to re-position the oil industry and rid it of corruption that has afflicted it over the years.
Sunny-Goli, who is the Minority Leader and House Committee Chairman on Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, yesterday in Yenagoa, pledged to mobilize the people of his constituency and the Niger Delta to support the current efforts of the Federal Government to sanitize the oil industry by providing information that would expose economic saboteurs in the coastal communities of the Niger Delta region.
