The Spokesman of PANDEF, KEN ROBINSON who spoke at the Niger Delta Alternative Convergence in Port Harcourt said the flooding as project by National Emergency Management Agency is going to be a coastal flooding that will be more dangerous to coastal communities.

ROBINSON urged the organizers of the Alternative Convergence to use the opportunity to alert coastal community to be vigilant and that government should also be put on alert to make sure that proper planning is carried out to safe the people.

In his goodwill message, Professor LUCKY AKARUESO of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Port Harcourt called on the fight against motor-sub pollution which he said will help protect the Niger Delta environment.
