For instance the Export Processing Zone, EPZ project started by Jonathan, he did the groundbreaking but since then, nothing happened. But since the recent visits of the Vice President, we have seen seriousness.
“For some time now there has been peace in the Niger-Delta area because the people have seen seriousness in the government. So if the government keeps up the pace, there will be more peace it will be better for everybody. More oil will be produced and there will be more money, development will come to the Niger-Delta area. We will support them in achieving that.” he had stated
