The NIGER DELTA CONGRESS is founded on the necessity of protecting the economic and political rights and freedoms of the different ethnic nationalities of the region, which has since before independence been assaulted by the Nigerian federation, in their bid to ensure complete domination and subjugation of the Delta peoples, so as to ensure minimal resistance and the seamless looting and pillaging of the human and natural resources of the Niger Delta.
