A peace ambassador and development advocate, Chief Sheriff Mulade, has advised the leadership of Benikrukru Community in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, to donate any portion of land required by indigenes of the area for investment, not sell to same, so as to encourage indigenes to attract investment to the area.

Chief Mulade, who is the Ibe-Serimowei of the kingdom, also appealed to the community leaders not to set a dangerous precedence by selling land to indigenes, as that might create chaos in the nearest future and negatively affect the growth and development of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom.

The peace advocate emphasized that all sons and daughters of Benikrukru Community were entitled to land free of charge as bonafide indigenes, and not to buy land under any disguise whatsoever.

He said: "We should support and encourage any of our indigenes who has the capacity to attract investors to Gbaramatu Kingdom, especially Benikrukru Community, to create employment and job opportunities for our teeming youths that will in turn attract massive development to the area.

"Therefore, we should appreciate one of our indigenes for his contributions to the development and growth of the community, and also for showcasing the potentials of the community to the outside world," he added in his appeal.

Speaking further, the Ibe Sorimowei noted that, "land should be donated freely as the community equity contribution towards supporting his efforts, instead of selling land to him. This will serve as motivation to this illustrious son, and many others like him."

Mulade expressed strong belief that the prevailing harsh economic situation in Nigeria today was not enough for Benikrukru people to forget the  contributions to the economic growth of the community. 

"Let us avoid doing things that are inimical to natural justice, equity and fair play," Mulade advised.
