At a farewell audience with Mr. Michael Zinner, the outgoing Ambassador of Germany to Nigeria, at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday, President Muhammadu Buhari officially confirmed that his administration has opened talks with Niger Delta militants, in order to end attacks on oil installations and stabilize production.
He, however, said the negotiations were done through oil companies and law-enforcement agencies.
President Buhari also said the instruments of the Amnesty Programme inherited from the previous administration were being studied by his administration, with a view to carrying out commitments which were made, but have not been delivered.
The President stated, "We understand their feelings; we are studying the instruments. We have to secure the environment, otherwise investment will not come. We will do our best for the country."
The President thanked the German Government for its continued support to Nigeria in efforts to tackle insecurity and the on-going rehabilitation and resettlement of displaced citizens in crisis areas in the North-Eastern parts of the country.
