The Leadership of the Niger Delta Youth Council Worldwide (NDYC-W) at a stakeholders’ engagement meeting on Monday, December 22, 2025, pledged to collaborate with Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) in safeguarding oil assets.
The meeting focused on enhancing security in the Niger Delta region.
In a communique, signed and issued by Jator Abido, National Coordinator of NDYC-W, the group commended the leadership of Niger Delta Development Commission and the board, led by Chiedu Ebie and Dr Samuel Ogbuku, for their efforts in regional development.
He said that the meeting is focusing on enhancing security in the Niger Delta region.
The communique also commended President Bola Tinubu, for appointing a new Minister of Defence.
According to the group: “We call on all youths to support security agencies in safeguarding the region.
“We as a Council equally condole with Bayelsa State Government on the passing of the Deputy Governor.
“The NDYC-W commended Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited for community engagement programs and pledged partnership to protect critical oil infrastructure.”
Abido warned non-indigenous groups perpetuating violence (herdsmen, bandits, cult groups) that their activities won’t be tolerated in the region.
The council urged all groups to embrace peace and coexist with Niger Delta communities in this Yuletide season.
Also, the NDYC-W launched its maiden edition of the Niger Delta Chronicle newspaper, a monthly publication aimed at being the leading voice of the Region’s media.
