YENAGOA—Niger Delta Youths Coalition for Peace and Progress, NDYCPP, yesterday said it is collaborating with oil industry leadership to ensure the participation of youths in the NLNG Train-7, in order to reduce the domination of foreign companies.

He said the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, would lead other industry chiefs to the event.
Others expected at the forum include Executive Secretary, Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, (NCDM), Mr. Simbi Wabote, and Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Amnesty Coordinator, Prof Charles Dokubo.
