 Itsekiri Accuses DESOPADEC of Marginalization in Project Allocation


The Itsekiri ethnic group has expressed concerns over alleged marginalization in the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC)'s allocation of projects. In an open letter to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the Itsekiri Leaders of Thought (ILoT) called for action to address the alleged injustice.


The letter, signed by ILoT Chairman Chief Edward Ekpoko and Secretary Sir Sunny Mene, criticized the commission for failing to allocate the due 29 percent share to the Itsekiri people in the 2023 project distribution. The leaders noted that the 2023 Centralized Budget had violated the agreed-upon sharing formula, particularly in the implementation of centralized projects.


The letter emphasized the Itsekiri people’s dissatisfaction with the current treatment and warned that such actions could have lasting consequences. It urged the governor to rectify the situation promptly, asserting that the 2023 budget had not only breached the law but also undermined the rights of oil-producing communities, with the Itsekiri ethnic group being a primary victim of this inequality.
