President Muhammadu Buhari is currently studying the gazette signed by late President Umaru Yar’Adua on the Niger Delta crisis as one of the possible ways of tackling the renewed violence being orchestrated by the Niger Delta Avengers in the region, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.
The purpose of revisiting the gazette, it was further learnt, was to ensure that all the agreements contained in the document were implemented by the Federal Government.
The development is coming at a time the destruction of oil facilities in the Niger Delta by the militants has crippled crude oil production and power supply.
By Friday, power generation was said to have dropped to 2,832.5MW because of the attacks.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, confirmed to our correspondent on Saturday that the Federal Government was doing all within its ability to restore peace to the Niger Delta.
Adesina listed some of the steps being taken to include consultations and the revisiting of the document signed by the late President.
