He gave a speech during the National Council on Niger Delta conference that took place in Asaba, Delta State.

Momoh underscored the government’s dedication to tackling the obstacles encountered by the Niger Delta area.

As the highest advisory body to the ministry, the council focuses on developing and implementing policies that enhance the socioeconomic well-being of the people living in the Niger Delta.

Momoh was pleased with the cooperation with the Ministry of Works, which led to an expeditious intervention on the East-West Road, according to his speech. In particular, he observed notable advancements on a particular stretch of the road from Onne to Eleme Junction.

“This development underscores the federal government’s determination to promptly tackle issues affecting the Niger Delta region,” Momoh stated.
