 The Humanitarian Group stated that they held  this view because, 

the  litigattion action of the  Forum   will stall the developmental process of   other relevant and paramount activities within the Niger Delta region.

classified as the national cake. 

While taking the Zamfara gold mine as a case study,  the group president said: " The Zamfara state action on the management of gold is the ratification and correction  of injustice done by some past administrations which have given birth to the commencement of restructuring that will  project a better one Nigeria. 

According to Comrade Mike Jk Tiemo , the NDDC and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs should be strengthened for the rapid and accelerated growth of the Niger Delta,  through our collective effort  and contribution  of our  individual quota  to the  betterment of all Niger Deltans without any action that will jeopardise the process. 

While making his submission the group president observed :                " there is so much official assignment to be done before the end of this year 2020 in area of projects delivering  and addressing vital issues  that concerns the well  being of  the Niger Delta. 

Finally ,the group urged all Civil Society Organisation to join hands with  the numerous agitators to actualize the developmental objective of the Niger Delta region in line with the road map drawn by  the  Federal government  and the South South meeting agenda in Port Harcourt. recently.
