The Itsekiri Youths for Good Governance (IYGG) has urged President Bola Tinubu to reject mounting pressures for the decentralisation of pipeline surveillance contracts in the Niger Delta, describing the campaign as a veiled attempt by criminal elements to infiltrate and exploit the nation’s oil infrastructure.

The group recalled the turbulent years of Niger Delta…

They even used the bank’s own funds to buy its shares, an outrageous betrayal of trust. It didn’t stop there. Over $100 million was pulled out improperly, leaving the bank exposed…
