The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has been called upon to “initiate steps that will ensure speedy completion of some projects attracted by Bayelsa State’s former Governor, Chief Timipre Sylva in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Izzi Yakiah, while making the call specifically urged Lokpobiri to “adopt further dialogue in resolving issues of abandoned oil and gas projects in Brass Island of the State”.
This was contained in a signed statement by Yakiah, in reaction to a pronouncement credited to the minister at a stakeholders’ meeting held at Twon Brass community town hall following his working visit to the access road to Brass Petroleum Product Terminal Tank Farm project.
