By PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, held a closed-door meeting with a delegation of Ogoni leaders led by Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Also present at the meeting was the Chief of staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari; the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, and other ministers and aides.
The meeting came after a coalition of civil society organisations demanded an allocation of $1 trillion from the Federal Government for the clean-up of the Niger Delta and compensation for lost livelihoods, before the resumption of crude oil production in Ogoniland.
The meeting also came amid the protracted feud between Fubara and Wike who were once political godfather and son.
Wike was the immediate-past governor of the oil-rich South-South state.
Further details of the meeting are still in wraps as of the time of filing the report.
