Alleged neglect: Tisun community in Warri North threatens to disrupt oil exploration

Tisun Community, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State has threatened not to guarantee flow of oil and gas in the community from January 1, 2024.

The oil and gas-rich community complained about alleged neglect by development agencies of the federal and state governments, as well as oil companies.Chairman, Tisun Community Management Council, (TCMC), David Odeli, during a town hall meeting, weekend, said the people of Tisun were embittered.

“The federal government should not hope to get sufficient oil and gas production from the swamp operations in Warri North Local Government Area, from January 1, 2024.“

There’s an obvious tendency that there’s going to be very serious hostility in the swamp.

“Over the years, there has been nothing to show for the huge resources drawn from Tisun and our neighbouring communities; there are no basic amenities, the environment has been completely destroyed and our people impoverished.

“I know the huge expectations on my shoulders from the people of Tisun as leaders in the community.

“Let’s take a critical look at the agencies responsible for the development of the communities, from the state to the federal level, you will discover that the agencies have no developmental links with the oil and gas bearing communities,” he lamented.
