The recent meeting held between the elders of Niger Delta and president Buhari is a good beginning towards peace in that area of the country (Nigeria). We (Viewers Corner News team) also gathered that lots of demands were made by these elders from Niger Delta region and they also believe that if their requests are granted, true peace would come to that region. Now looking at their demands, we believe that it is very appropriate but the very important ones for now should be cleaning the destroyed environment hopefully for the people of that region, we say so because of the health problems that may affect the people living in that part of the country in the long run as a result of the oil pipelines blown-up by various militant groups. Federal government of Nigeria should please take this aspect very seriously because people’s health are at stake, give them the maritime university, create job opportunities for those living in that part of the county. If few of these requests are given to them, then the rest could come gradually. Again the issue of oil block should be reviewed and handled with care so as to avoid conflicts because as it is now, almost everyone from that region would want to have an oil block which would not be possible. However we pray and hope that the recent meeting held between president Buhari and the elders from Niger Delta area of the country (Nigeria) would bring a permanent solution that would enable both parties to solve the problems in that region (Niger Delta) of the country (Nigeria).
