He said the government had neglected Ndokwa East despite the fact that it is one of the major oil-producing local government areas in the state.

In his words:

"This is despite the state being one of the top three oil-rich states in the country and Ndokwa East LGA a major oil producing Local government area in Delta state Nigeria."

They also lack potable water supply

West said the only source of water supply to the people of the local government is dirty pond water.

"We therefore want to solicit the monetary support of the general public and kind hearted Nigerians to fund our Educational and water projects."
