A group under the auspicious of Ijaw Political Grassroot Development Movement has been launched to constructively engage all relevant stakeholders, particularly government at all levels.
The convener and Chairman of the group, Chief Mulade Sheriff PhD said the IPGDM is a socio-political pressure group that is saddled with the responsibility of drawing the attention of government at all levels and relevant stakeholders to the current state of underdevelopment prevailing in Ijaw communities across Delta State.
It is a known fact that Ijaw communities continue to lack basic developmental needs despite our enormous economic contribution to the growth and development of Delta State, and the nation at large.
In his words: “We are therefore taking the responsibility to champion the cause of our people and to advocate for a change in the prevailing narrative of underdevelopment within Ijaw communities in Delta State”
Adding, “furthermore, we humbly solicit the support and understanding of all well meaning sons and daughters of Ijaw in Delta State to join the train of constructive engagement for this noble cause
We humbly use this medium to respectfully invite all to join us as we lead the process for constructive dialogue towards achieving sustainable developmental progress for the Ijaw communities in Delta State”, he asserted.
