The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide has said that the proposed railway network project by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to connect all states in the region would surely stimulate economic activities required to place the Niger Delta on the fast lane of development.
NDDC had recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United States-based Atlanta Global Resources Inc. (AGRI) to build a railway network to connect all states in the region, a federal government project being applauded by several stakeholders in the region.
The IYC President Peter Timothy Igbifa, told newsmen in a statement in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Thursday that the entire stakeholders in the region were excited over such a move by the board of the NDDC and were eagerly waiting for the realisation of the project.
