Senator Ned Nwoko Pledges Action as Ndokwa Nation Protests Neglect of IPP Project
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

The Step Down IPP Ndokwa Nation Movement on Tuesday staged a peaceful protest at the National Assembly complex, Abuja, to express deep frustration over the Federal Government’s continued neglect and failure to step down the Independent Power Project (IPP) located in Ndokwa Nation, Delta State.

The protesters decried the irony that despite hosting the IPP facility — which supplies electricity to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa and over eight states across the country — Ndokwa communities remain without power, living in darkness while energy generated from their land lights up other parts of Nigeria.

Representing the convener, Comrade Henry Franklyn, who was unavoidably absent, Dr. Francis Mbabie led the delegation and presented the group’s demands to lawmakers. He underscored the urgent need for fairness, infrastructural justice, and equitable development for the Ndokwa people.

In response, Senator Prince Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, commended the group for conducting a peaceful and orderly protest. He reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the IPP project delivers tangible benefits to its host communities as originally envisioned.

Senator Nwoko disclosed that he has held extensive consultations with key government officials — including the Minister of Power, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, and executives of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN). He also mentioned engaging directly with the President and the Governor of Delta State to push for the immediate step-down of the IPP in Ndokwa Nation.

The lawmaker further reiterated his dedication to the ongoing advocacy for the creation of Anioma State, noting that such a development would strengthen political representation for the Ndokwa people, allowing them to have their own senator and representatives in the National Assembly.

He assured the delegation that significant progress is being made and urged them to remain patient and optimistic as discussions continue with relevant authorities.

The peaceful protest concluded on a hopeful note, with participants expressing renewed confidence that the plight of Ndokwa Nation will soon receive the urgent attention it deserves.
