The Delta Ijaw Youth Assembly, DIYA, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to keep mum but say something over the pronouncement of the Minister of Transport and Aviation, Mr Chibuike Amaechi, that the Federal Government has scrapped the Nigeria Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State.

The group expressed worry over the Presidency’s posture on views of well meaning Nigerians who have given reasons for the Federal Government not to scrap the university, saying that tempers were rising as the people were already getting impatient.

DIYA, in a statement by its President, Ebimobowei Oguma, said that the silent posture of President Buhari on the issue is seen as a deliberate action to deny the Niger Delta development.
