PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has approved several actions to fast-track the implementation of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) Report on the environmental restoration of Ogoniland.
According to a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the president on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in Abuja, on Wednesday, his approval of the measures was in keeping with his commitment to working for the development and well-being of all Nigerians.
The actions were approved by the president based on recommendations to him by the Executive Director of UNEP, the UNEP Special Representative for Ogoniland, Permanent Secretaries of the Federal Ministries of Environment and Petroleum Resources, and other stakeholders.
They include the amendment of the official gazette establishing the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project (HYPREP) to reflect a new governance framework comprising a governing council, a board of trustees and project management.
The President further approved that the HYPREP governing council should be composed as follows:
Ministry of Petroleum Resources, one representative; Federal Ministry of Environment, one representative; impacted States (Rivers), one representative; oil companies & NNPC, four representatives; Ogoniland, two representatives; United Nations system, one representative and a secretariat headed by a project manager.
He also approved the composition of a board of trustees for the HYPREP Trust Fund as follows: Federal Government, one representative; NNPC, one representative; international oil companies, one representative; Ogoniland, one representative and United Nations System, one representative.
The statement said that following a meeting held on the directive of the president, it was also agreed that a contribution deposit of $10 million will be made by stakeholders within 30 days of the appointment of members of the board of trustees for the trust fund who will be responsible for collecting and managing funds from contributors and donors.
It added that a new implementation template had also been evolved at the instance of President Buhari, and the environmental clean-up of Ogoniland will commence in earnest with the president's inauguration of the HYPREP governing council and the board of trustees for the trust fund.

Oya over to the children from the tribe of hate. None of you shall rest in peace in this life or after life so long you are unwilling to give those of us that wish the best for Nigeria peace.

Sai Buhari!

PMB will end up doing more for the SS than a dozen Jonathans could ever do. I've said it that Tompolo might end up leading PMB's next campaign in the south.

Nice one.

Jonathan who is from the Niger-Delta refused to heed to the demands of the Ogoni people to clean up their land messed up with oil. A Fulani man is now going to do it. I remember this was one of the campaign promises of President Muhammadu Buhari,he is already fulfilling the promise. Why would I stop loving my President?

Oya... Come and be talking against him.

LRNZH:
Where is the chief wailer Barcanista?
Come oh...PMB wants to help your people.

Chief wailer will write one poo article now quoting Isaac Boro about how Ijaw and Ogoni are different tribes.

Wailers Incorporated.

Haha....But Ijaw and Ogona are different tribes na.

Good decision but it is not just enough to "Okay Cleanup", we shall praise him when they start the clean-up.
