Asetuku who spoke in his office during a meeting with stakeholders said in line with Gov. Okowa’s Stronger Delta Agenda, he operates an open door policy and appealed to all those seeking to take to protest to give room for further dialogue.

He however, bemoaned the attitude of the two oil companies especially in fulfilling their corporate social responsibility to their host communities within the Warri North Council area and urged them to listen to the yearnings and pains of the people to avert activities that will disrupt the companies’ activities in the area.
