ABUJA—President Muhammadu Buhari,
yesterday, in Nairobi, Kenya, said that non-clean
up of oil spillages in the Niger Delta especially in
Ogoniland, was responsible for the militancy the
region witnessed in times past.
The president consequently vowed to clean up
the land by implementing the United Nations
Environmental Programme, UNEP’s
recommendations to save the land.
President Buhari made the promise during a visit
to the United Nations Office in the Kenyan
capital.
He also appealed for more support from the
United Nations in the clean up of the region.
He said: “When I came into office on May 29,
2015, one of the first tasks I carried out was to
authorise the implementation of the
recommendations of the UNEP report for the
clean-up of Ogoniland.
“The devastation caused by oil spillage has
destroyed many lives and livelihoods and is
clearly one of the reasons many people in that
region lost faith in government and resorted to
the many criminal activities we are seeing in the
region today.
“The action our government took to implement
UNEP’s recommendations has given the
indigenes of the region hope that there are
better days ahead. Let me, therefore, express
appreciation on behalf of the Government of
Nigeria to UNEP and other development
partners for their cooperation and support on
this very delicate matter and also request for
their continued support as we implement the
recommendations and transform the fortunes of the region.”
President Buhari also applauded the outcome of
the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties
(COP 21) to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC, held in
Paris, France, in December last year.
He called for rapid urbanization as the world
population increases.

PMB has good intentions for d ND! I think soo

In other words PGEJ is to be blame for all the agitation in that region.
Even as a former petroleum minister, PGEJ will still be blame for all the lapses then.
