Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State says the gas and fertilizer projects of the Udom administration in Akwa Ibom State will not only transform the economy of the state but will create employment opportunities for the people.
He also took on those propagating the conspiracy theory that the Niger Delta is unsafe, saying they are the real enemies of the vastly polluted oil and gas region.
He is, therefore, advising oil and gas companies operating in the region to always be mindful to implement the local content policy in order to foster cordial relationship with their host communities.
Governor Wike was speaking when he performed the groundbreaking of Giwa Gas FZE gas and fertilizer project at Okoroinyong village in Eastern Obolo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.
