A pan Niger Delta group, known as the Movement for the Survival of Izon Ethnic Nationality in Niger Delta (MOSIEND), has told the people of the region to hold the Minister of state for petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva, Minister for Niger Delta affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and the current Minister for transportation, Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, and other appointees from the region, responsible over what they described as “deteriorating development situation in the region.”
The group added that the region has suffered developmental standstill since the Buhari administration took over in 2015.
They spoke through a statement sent to DAILY POST, through MOSIEND’s National Mobilization Officer, Alhaji Abubaka Amaigo Brown, after a consultative meeting with ethnic youths leaders from Rivers State and MOSIEND Executives from the Eastern Zone, in preparation of a proposed Niger Delta Ethnic communities youth leaders conference.

VVF
Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) is an abnormal opening between the bladder and the vagina that results in continuous and unremitting urinary incontinence.
The entity is one among the most distressing complications of gynecologic and obstetric procedures.
The common causes of VVF are obstructed labour, early marriage, rape, poverty and women’s limited control over the use of family resources.
Women and girls with this disability are often abandoned by their husbands and isolated from the community due to the smell and associated shame of urine leakage.
