Against
the backdrop of constant sabotage of gas pipelines in the Niger Delta
region, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji
Fashola, SAN, made a call for peace in the area, stating that security
of gas pipelines would lead to generation of additional 3,000MW, which
“ will give comfort to small businesses, villages, communities, and
welders.”
The Minister made this call during his tour of Federal Projects across
the South – South States of the Country, further adding that the
grievances of those who sabotage the pipelines was equally important.
“You will see that in the last few days, the Acting President has been
particularly busy in this area trying to reach out to communities to see
what methods and efforts would bring peace; because that is really when
we will begin to talk of the economy and prosperity, when we have
peace”.
