Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta has called on all the non-indigenes of the state, to partner with his administration to sustain peace for development to thrive.

Okowa made the call on Wednesday in Asaba when the leadership of the Arewa community in the state paid him a courtesy visit as part of activities marking the Eid-el-Kabir festival.

The governor was represented on the occasion by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Fetus Agas.

He told the Arewa community that his administration would continue to carry them along as stakeholders in the development of the state and urged them to be patriotic.

Okowa noted that Delta had been peaceful when compared to some other states and thanked the group for their love, understanding and loyalty to his administration.

Earlier, the leader of the group, Alhaji Muktar Usman, described the governor as a detribalised Nigerian and assured him of the continued support of the Arewa community to his administration.

Usman, who is the Special Adviser to the Governor on Non-Indigene Affairs, thanked Okowa for what he described as usual support and encouragement for the community.

He said the state government had always ensured that Muslims in the state participated in the yearly Hajj festival in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

He commended the governor for the appointment of members of the Arewa community into his cabinet and also for the completion of the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.

From Tony Osauzo, Benin Youths protesting fuel price hike and scarcity of the product in Edo State, yesterday, blocked the Lagos-Benin Expressway at Oluku Junction, forcing commuters to be stranded for hours. Commuters who were on their way to Lagos and those hoping to do business in the area were stranded for long hours. Transporters, travellers and those who have businesses in the area lamented the blockade and expressed dissatisfaction over the incident. One of them, Grace Emmanuel, a trader who was taking her goods to Ekiadolor, said it was pertinent for her to take her perishable goods to where she would sell them so that she doesn't incur losses. "It is unfortunate that this protest is taking place because it will add to the existing problem. If I don't get my goods to where I will sell them, some might get bad and I will incur losses which I don't want at this time. "They are protesting for the right reasons. The fuel situation is hitting hard on everybody but blocking the roads will lead to losses to individuals who are going to do business," she stated. Similarly, a driver who gave his name as Osahon, said the protest has left most people stranded in the axis. He, therefore, called on the government to address cause of the fuel crisis in the country.
