The Delta State Traditional Rulers Council has pleaded with the federal and Delta State governments to reconstruct Okuama community.

The community was destroyed in the aftermath of the brutal killing of 17 soldiers, including three officers, in March of this year.

The call is contained in a four-point communiqué issued at the end of the monarchs’ meeting in Asaba.

The chairman of the council and Orodje of Okpe Kingdom, Major-General Felix Mujakpuero (retd), Orhue I, who presented the communique, said the early reconstruction of Okuama community would alleviate the sufferings of the people and facilitate the early return of the displaced residents to their ancestral home.

The council commended the Ovie of Uvwie kingdom, led by Ukoko Ivie Urhobo, for presenting relief materials to the Okuama internally displaced persons camp saying that the gesture would be a great relief to the people particularly in meeting their daily

basic needs.

The monarchs tasked the newly elected council chairmen to embark on meaningful development projects in their various council areas to justify the confidence reposed in them by the electorate, even as they congratulated them on their electoral victories.

The meeting was attended by traditional rulers from across the three senatorial districts.
