The Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial district, Magnus Abe, has said that the Federal Government has voted $190 million towards The implementation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on Ogoniland.
Abe disclosed this in Port Harcourt while addressing All Progressives Congress stalwarts and supporters at the weekend.

The UNEP had in its 2011 report presented to the Federal Government, recommended that at least $1 billion would be required in the first five years, which is expected to be completed in three decades.
Abe said: “We (Senate) are still pressing to increase the budgetary provision to $200 million to enable the project to begin. The amount was part of this year’s contributions by Shell.”

The senator, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) disclosed that there were also plans to expand power projects at Andoni and Oyigbo local council areas of his senatorial district.
On the completion of the East-West road project, he explained that he was also working with the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to increase the budgetary provision for the project, which was started by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The senator lamented that the contractor handling the project had complained
that the fund was not enough for them to go back to site.He stressed that the contractor promised to add its funds to complete the project if they were given a minimum amount.

On Bodo-Bony road project, he said there were chances of its speedy completion because the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) had promised to fund it.
