More so, commendably, the youths from the host communities are employed and directly safeguarding and protecting pipelines and facilities in their various communities&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8221; for instance in OML30, I am aware that the pipeline contract is being handled by a Niger Delta indigenous firm, Ocean Marine Solution limited, which had engaged over 800 youths from the various host communities, who are directly securing the pipelines and facilities, which is a very good and workable template&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Umukoro, noted that every reasonable indigene from Niger Delta should be more concerned on how host communities can get 10% equity shares in every assets or oil block in their domains in the proposed PIB.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8221; It is almost a fact that NNPC, IOCs and Indigenous operators awarded contracts to protect oil pipeline and facilities to capable indigenes within Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, and Edo, so, therefore, it will be wrong for anybody to insinuate that outsiders, referring to people not from any states in Niger Delta were awarded pipeline contracts&#8221;.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A youth leader from Kokori oil producing community in OML30, in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, Comrade Odiri Umukoro, said he is satisfied that indigenes and youths from the 112 host communities in OML30, are fully engaged and securing the pipelines and oil facilities in the assets.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":46462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[8107],"coauthors":[2391],"class_list":["post-46461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-news","tag-host-communities"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
