General Overseer of God’s Ministry International Inc., Evangelist Samson Mamamu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to make the development of the riverine communities a priority programme of his administration.

He said the President should take advantage of the prevailing peace in the Niger Delta to construct roads and bridges to link the riverine communities to the major cities in the region.

Evangelist Mamamu made the call yesterday, during God’s Ministry International Inc’s 41st celebration of the Christian Feast of Ingathering at New Ogbe-Ijoh in Warri, Delta State.

He said the government should embark on construction of at least one project in each of the senatorial districts in the region to appease the youths in the Niger Delta.

“This is the time President Buhari should embark on provision of at least one infrastructural project in each senatorial zone across the Niger Delta. He should take advantage of the prevailing peace in the region now,” he said.

The Cleric also appealed to governors in the region to compliment whatever projects the Federal Government was planning for the riverine communities by constructing roads and bridges to open up the rural areas along the creeks and rivers for development.

He particularly urged Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State to embark on the construction of Urhobo-Ugbokodo-Salvation City road to stimulate the socio economic development of New Ogbe-Ijoh riverine community.

He called on Nigerians to support the federal and state governments efforts to build a corrupt free nation, noting that in the absence of corruption development will spread across the country.
