"The avenue is open for them, provided the militants are willing to embrace dialogue and allow truth to reign because we are going to involve key leaders from the region who have had previous experience in that area to play whatever role they can".

Speaking at the handover ceremony of Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas to the Federal Ministry of Education, Kachikwu stated that the Federal Government was not just committed to securing oil and gas installations but the lives and property of people in the region. According to Kachikwu, the Monguno team will consist of top officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), service chiefs and ministers from the Niger Delta.

The NNPC boss said the country needed peace in oil production now than ever, given the circumstances currently facing the economy. However, Kachikwu expressed hope that the dialogue would yield positive results and get Nigeria back to maximum production as the country was currently producing about 1.6mbpd (600,000 barrels, short of the 2.2mbpd production target of the 2016 budget).
