Host Communities of OML 42 in Warri South and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Delta State have issued a 14-Day ultimatum to the managements of NPDC/NECONDE AMT JV, operators of the OML over alleged unresolved contractual issues.

The face-off, as alleged by the host communities, is occasioned by the lackadaisical posturing of the managements of NPDC/NECONDE AMT JV.

The ultimatum was contained in a release signed by the trio of Chief Samson Oyimi, Shedrack Otuaro and Billy Ekele on behalf of the host communities in Warri on Wednesday, which was made available to VANGUARD.

The statement insists that the operators should address the issues before the expiration of the ultimatum, adding that failure to do so will lead to a complete shutdown of oil exploration activities in the area.

The OML 42 Host Communities Forum is demanding that within the 14 days period, NPDC/NECONDE AMT JV should address the issues of the Field Memorandum of Understanding (FMOU) with the OML 42 host communities.

That the issue of contracts award to OML 42 host communities, Payment of Scholarship arrears awarded to OML 42 host community students in post primary schools and tertiary institutions and other key issues.

The Host Communities therefore called on the Chief of Army Staff to call his men to order during the looming protest, stressing that they have no other option than to protest as NPDC/NECONDE had ignored all letters and attempts to discuss these issues with the host communities peacefully.

The statement reads in part, “Therefore the OML 42 host communities in an emergency meeting have resolved and have no option but to issue your management 14 days ultimatum to resolve the following issues as stated below.

“The Field Memorandum of Understanding (FMOU) with the OML 42 host communities, which your management has refused to commence meeting from 2020 till date.

“Address the issue of contracts award to OML 42 host communities. Payment of Scholarship arrears awarded to OML 42 host community students in post primary schools and tertiary institutions.

“Employment of managerial staff from OML 42 host communities into the management of NPDC /Neconde. Since inception of NPDC/NECONDE no Developmental projects has been executed in the OML 42 host communities.

“Establishment of skilled acquisition centers in the OML 42 host communities. Payment of contractors high profile debts from 2017 to 2021

“Payment of outstanding FTO’s, MOU’s, O&M and other financial entitlement due OML 42 host communities.

“Failure to address the issues itemized within 14 days shall lead to complete shutdown of operations of OML 42 fields.” The statement added.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”
