By Ezekiel Kagbala FPR



A human Rights organization, Center for Human Rights and Public Complaints, CHRPC has opted to join the Oil rich Odidi community in Warri South-West Local Government Area, Delta State in protest to shut down the headquarters of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) Port Harcourt.


This was made known during a courtesy visit of the group led by Comrade Lucky Emubejere to the  community Chairman of Odidi, Prince Preyed Okrikpa in Warri.

The Human Rights Group
 disclosed that the purpose of joining the protest in support of the Odidi community is to protect the social economic rights of the people which include development of the community by the beneficiaries which includes the government and oil companies.

  

Odidi community, OML 42, a major oil-producing community playing host to the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company NPDC, Neconde among other companies, despite their huge contribution to the economic survival of Nigeria, the community still wallow in abject poverty. 

The Human Rights Organization during the visit to the Chairman noted that development is the right of the people and Odidi community should not be left out in terms of project from the government and it's agent NDDC


The Human Rights Organization urge those in NDDC to immediately plan and execute  a project to address the Infrastructural deficit, economic neglect, lack of basic social amenities in oil rich Odidi community Delta State.


"It is totally unfair to allow the Odidi people to suffer from the disastrous environmental and ecological damages that have put an end to all their means of livelihood".

The Human Rights Organization and the Odidi Community has syngezied to jointly embark on the  protests if NDDC remains silent to the legitimate complains and demands of the  people.
