Monarchs shelve Asaba regional conference over insecurity

Monarchs under the aegis of Traditional Rulers of Oil Mineral Producing Communities of Nigeria (TROMPCON) have announced the postponement of its regional conference hitherto scheduled to hold on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at Asaba, Delta state capital.

A statement signed by the National President of TROMPCON, HRM Owong Effiong Archianga, and made available to Blueprint in Uyo on Sunday, said the conference was postponed due to some pockets of insecurity within the region.

According to HRM Archianga, who doubles as a former Chairman of the Akwa Ibom state Council of Chiefs, the recent presidential guidelines on COVID-19 as announced by the federal government also necessitated the postponement of the conference.

The statement reads, “The National Executive Council (NEC) of Traditional Rulers of Oil Mineral Producing Communities of Nigeria (TROMPCON) led by HRM Owong (Dr.) Effiong B. Archianga (JP), regrets to announce the postponement of the general meeting/conference of TROMPCON Zone I scheduled to hold on May 26, 2021 at Asaba, Delta state.

“This is due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control and in compliance to presidential guidelines on COVID 19 as recently announced by the Federal Government and the current rate of insecurity in the region.”

The royal father regretted any inconveniences the postponement might cause members of TROMPCON and other special invitees.
