Niger Delta Youth Coalition (NDYC) has commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his current tough stance against terrorism and the Boko Haram insurgents declaring that “there cannot be development in the country without peace.”
The group also commended the Minster of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison- Madueke, and the Managing Director of the Managing Director of the Petroleum Products and Monitoring Company (PPMC), Mr. Haruna Momoh, and officials of the industry for the promptness in restoring fuel supply across the country.
NDYC in a statement issued in Benin City by Mr. Solomon Edatanlen, Coordinator, Niger Delta Youths Coalition (NDYC) and Comrade Mene Ogor, Secretary-General, the group appealed to Nigerians to support the president to defeat terrorism once and for all.
It said: “We endorse all the steps taken so far by the federal government, including seeking international assistance to combat the scourge of terrorism in our country. If previous governments had taken such steps in the past, the present security challenges would have long become a thing of the past.”
On the restoration of normalcy in fuel supply throughout the country,
the group  commended the Minister’s “unambiguous directive to her aides to ensure that future scarcity of the product does not rear its ugly head again.”
