Orubebe, who spoke on The place of the Ijaws in Nigeria: A Call to Strategic Action, at
a seminar organised by the Ijaw Professional Association, IPA, in
Lagos, said that it was imperative for leaders of the South South,
especially the Ijaw nation, to come up with a roadmap that will create
employment for its people.
He said:
“Because of oil, we have abandoned what God gave to us. We have people who are naturally fishermen and palm oil tappers. You heard when I spoke about Ogogoro (local gin), which is celebrated in China, but the authorities here are not doing anything to improve on it.”
