We are negotiating with Niger Delta militants, Buhari says

President Muhammadu Buhari

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed that his administration was talking to Niger Delta militants through oil companies and law-enforcement agencies to find a lasting solution to insecurity in the region.
Speaking at a farewell audience with Mr. Michael Zinner, the outgoing Ambassador of Germany to Nigeria at the State House, Buhari said that government is studying the instruments of the Amnesty Programme inherited from the previous administration with a view to carrying out commitments
made that were undelivered.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu quoted the President as saying, “We understand their feelings. We are studying the instruments. We have to secure the environment, otherwise, investment will not come. We will do our best for the country.”
