FG Raises $177m For Ogoni Cleanup by GSA01: 2:46pm On Oct 09, 2018
The Federal Government on Monday announced that it had raised the sum of $177m out of the $1bn required for the cleanup of Ogoni land in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

It stated that refineries of crude oil were expected to raise the balance, adding that the $1bn was to be raised over a period of five years.



The Minister of State for Environment, Ibrahim Jibril, disclosed this while playing host to the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Laure Beaufils in Abuja.

He said, “As I’m talking today, that (Ogoni cleanup) account has been credited with the sum of $177m. This is what is supposed to be given by the oil majors who are there and to pay for the cleaning and restoration of those degraded lands.”

Jibril said an initial bill of $1bn was recommended to be used over a period of five years, adding that “with the $177m for 2018, the balance is expected to come from the refineries and we have written to inform the President, he (President) has given the directives that the petroleum ministry should handle that issue.”

He also spoke on the devastating effect of climate change on Nigeria, adding that the ministry had to create a department to help tackle the challenges posed by the development.

“The issue of climate change has been brought to bear in the southern part of this country, as can been seen in the constant erosion in some of those areas. That is why we have a full Technical Department of Erosion Control,” he said.

The minister told his guest that in the northern part of Nigeria, “we have the problem of the Sahara desert in places like Borno and Yobe states.”

3 years after you initiated the clean up; nothing on ground.

One year to election you want to make another noise with it.

We are wiser.

Say the one you are sure, and distance yourself from the ones you don't know. Your Hero, GEJ was in power for close to 6yrs, he preferred to look the other way round despite the Ogoni land is less than 100KLM away from where GEJ was born. The Hausa/ man you hated so much far away 1500KLM in the north has taken up the responsibility of what your Hero could not do.

To further enlightening you, the UN that recommended the cleaning up of Ogoni projected the cleaning will last for close 30years, they did not say 4yrs or less. They further UN, revealed the cleaning would be in 5stages. Out of which the first stage was just completed last 3 months which was aired live on TV stations. The second stage of the cleaning will commence sooner. If your ignorant care to know more about how far the cleaning has gone , log on to :www.hyprep.gov.ng
