Youths of Bonny kingdom in Rivers State have suspended their plan to shut down activities in Bonny Island to protest the failure of multinational oil and gas companies doing business in the kingdom to honour their corporate social responsibility obligations to the community.
The process of the total shutdown, which began in the early hours of Monday, was suddenly suspended as tension began to build up on the island.
Bonny Youth Federation (BYF) had mobilised youths for protest and stationed them at all entry and exit routes to the Island including markets and offices.
This raised panic, forcing the major stakeholders in Bonny like the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas and other multinationals to quickly confer and reach out to the state government.
