In a statement to State House correspondents on Wednesday, Momoh emphasized that while protesting is not inherently wrong, it could have adverse effects on economic development. He highlighted that President Tinubu has been dedicated to completing various abandoned projects in the region, which some citizens may be unaware of.

Momoh praised President Tinubu for his commitment to national development, despite the current economic constraints. He noted that the administration has undertaken several projects that previous administrations did not address, even with limited resources.

“The ongoing projects and welfare programs in the Niger Delta over the past year far exceed those of the previous four years,” Momoh said. “Recent project commissions in the region demonstrate the significant progress made.”

He also highlighted various welfare and empowerment initiatives by the ministry, including new programs that benefit women and youths. Momoh pointed out that the president has approved funds for flood relief and other support for the Niger Delta.

While acknowledging the right to protest, Momoh cautioned against violence and property destruction. “Protesting is not a sin, but it must not lead to mayhem or damage to innocent people’s property,” he said. “Youths should not undermine their own future by destroying what they will depend on.”

He concluded by encouraging youths to engage with the government’s programs and take advantage of the opportunities available for their development.
