The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to reactivate the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) to help tackle the insecurity that has been bedeviling the country.
Atiku stated this at a Business Breakfast meeting tagged “Nigeria’s Time to Recover” which was held in Abuja on Friday.
According the former vice president, the ECOMOG will ensure the adequate patrol of Nigeria borders, as to keep foreign terrorists and other criminals from entering and disturbing the nation’s peace.
The PDP presidential candidate also addressed the implementation of the document on the Niger Delta Ministry, saying the implementation process was defective.
He said the document was developed by the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo during which he was the vice president, and that the plan was to ensure that the resources belonging to the people of the Niger Delta are adequately utilized.
Atiku assured that if elected in 2023, the Ministry of Niger Delta will be in the Niger Delta region, adding that he will ensure the ministry sees to the development of the infrastructural requirements of the region.
He further promised that if elected president, he will make sure that the region has fully equipped educational facilities that are well funded.
