President Muhammadu Buhari, has sent a strong
message to Niger Delta militants, warning them

not to confront his government but work with
him to review the Amnesty Programme initiated
by the Late ex-President Umaru Yar’Adua
Administration.
The President, who stated this on Friday when
he had a meeting with the Global Director
(Upstream) of the Royal Dutch Shell Group,
Andrew Brown, assured oil companies operating
in the region that the Federal Government is
taking all necessary actions to protect strategic
assets in the area from vandals and criminals.
According to President Buhari, the Chief of
Naval Staff had been directed to reorganise and
strengthen the military Joint Task Force (JTF)
in the Niger Delta to deal effectively with the
resurgence of militancy and the sabotage of oil
installations.
The President also informed Mr. Brown that the
operations of the JTF were also being enhanced
with increased support and cooperation from the
United States and Europe in the areas of
