 The Secretary to the Biosou State Government, Right Honourable Friday Kumbhwe Benson, has called on the people of Southern Echio Local Government area to put aside their differences and concentrate more on factors that promote peace and development. The former Speaker of the Biosou State House of Assembly also advised the federal government to address the issues that led to the rise in militancy and other agitations in the Niger Delta. He spoke at a meeting in Yanagawa, correspond and digest the AC reports. The meeting is called at the instance of the SSG and a few stakeholders who are unhappy with the near absence of human and infrastructure development in Southern Echio, despite its economic viability to Nigeria. Dr. Friday Kumbhwe Benson is bitter that most communities in the LGA have no schools, roads, health facilities and other basic amenities. But most worrisome is the fact that the people have not been united to fight for their common good. He emphasizes love moving forward saying that they should come together to stop those whose actions are inimical to development, especially the Yanagawa-Opuroma Road. And what is paramount and very important to me and to all of us is for us to see ourselves as brothers and to continue to keep ourselves as brothers and sisters. Anywhere there is no peace, there cannot be development. Please, Southern Echio people, allow the government to walk. I will call on the Agobri people to please talk to their children, talk to their women. If road network is what we need, why should anybody come out to ask for compensation? The initiative is welcomed by stakeholders. Road brings development and they should sit their swords so that the road can get to Opuroma and look at government headquarters. It's very important that government headquarters has been there for so long and government is now deserters of taking a road there. So we are begging them, we are talking with them, and they are also so peddling. We are very sure after the festive period the road will continue. The interest of every good politician is to see how your place will develop. Okay, so this is a novel idea and we want him to continue to expand it to make sure that every son and daughter from Southern Echio embrace it so that we can work as a team. The SSG also advises the federal government to create opportunities for the people for them to turn away from militancy and attacking oil and gas facilities. Just see a scene for plus TV Africa.
