Nigerian government and Niger Delta militants agree to a 30-day ceasefire

The Nigerian government and the militants from the country's oil-rich Niger Delta region, have reportedly agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. According to local reports, the truce was reached last week, when the minister for Petroleum Resources, met representatives of the militants. It is believed the truce will give President Muhammadu Buhari time to address the demands made by the militants, including the newly established Niger Delta Avengers group.
