EGBEMA YOUTHS DEMAND URGENT CREATION OF CADA.

EGBEMA YOUTHS DEMAND URGENT CREATION OF COASTAL AREA DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (CADA)





Coastal communities in Delta State have renewed demands to the Delta State Government to urgently create the “Coastal Area Development Agency” (CADA) for a peaceful and sustainable development of the communities in the coastal area in Delta State.

The youths of Egbema Kingdom under the aegis of Egbema Youth Council led by its’ president general *Comrade Bright Maya* has added their voice to the call for the urgent creation of the much needed Coastal Area Development Agency (CADA) as earlier called by the renowned Environmentalist and Human Rights Activist, Comrade Sheriff Mulade. 

Comrade Bright Maya emphasized and reiterated the importance of the Agency as it will be better positioned to directly play the interventionist role to meet the much needed infrastructural and housing developments needed by the coastal communities in the state.

The youth president advised the Executive Governor of Delta State His Excellency Dr. Sen. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa to pay a courtesy visit to the core coastal Ijaw communities to have a first-hand view of the level of deprivation and suffering meted on the these communities for several decades. 

In his words, Comrade Bright Maya posited that DESOPDEC alone cannot meet the much needed socio-infrastructural developmental needs of these coastal communities. He appealed to the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborovwori to urgently consider the establishment of CADA for the coastal communities in the State to give them a complete sense of belonging.
