The new Chairman of Egbema Gbaramatu Communities Development Foundation EGCDF, Chief Michael Johnny, has maintained that it is the responsibility of every son and daughter, including all the oil communities in Egbema and Gbaramatu to ensure that the existing peace and security in the two kingdoms is sustained.
He gave the charge, in Warri, at Hotel Excel, at the official inauguration of the new executives of the foundation, and charged the various oil communities in Egbema and Gbaramatu to avoid breach of law and order in the areas.

Doyah Tiemo, for his achievements, and equally assured that the new leadership of the foundation shall improve on Tiemo’s achievements in order to effect the drastic change being collectively agitated for by all the various oil communities in Egbema and Gbaramatu.
“We shall embark on execution of projects across all the communities, but we must also ensure to live in harmony, and put aside personal interest in order for the foundation to make much progress”.
He continued “Let me assure you that the new leadership of EGCDF shall work closely, and in harmony with Chevron Nigeria Limited, Federal government, Delta state government, security agencies and all other relevant agencies”.
