God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari for this good work.

This is what PDP the evil and looting party along with their presidents that looted our national treasury for 16 years could not do for all the wasted years they are in power.

Thanks for coming to our aid President Muhammadu Buhari.

We love you.
We stand with you.

After years of looting the funds for the clean up?

10 months after Nigerian govt’s launch of Ogoni clean-up, ‘not a drop of oil cleaned’ – Group
April 5, 2017

Ten months after the Nigerian government launched the clean-up of Ogoniland, actual work is yet to commence in the community, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria, ERA/FoEN, has said.

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, in June 2016 flagged off the oil spillage clean-up exercise amidst an elaborate ceremony in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Godwin Ojo, Executive Director of ERA/FoEN, said almost six years after the UNEP report, “not a drop of oil” had been cleaned in Ogoniland.
“As we speak, there has been no serious effort to manage the expectations of the Ogonis. While some believe that the clean-up process is a money-making venture, others are facing difficulties to pursue the clean-up process,” Mr. Ojo said at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday.
“Authorities responsible for the clean-up should come up publicly, provide a template for the clean-up and a step by step blueprint on how it would progress. The media is even kept in the dark, for example, no one knows the effective date of the clean-up process, and this is not good enough to manage the people’s expectations. Not everyone is being carried along at the moment.”

A United Nations Environment Programme scientific study released in 2011 exposed the large-scale, continued contamination of the water and soil in Ogoniland, and the serious threat they pose to human health.
In one case, UNEP found that a community drinking well was polluted with benzene, a cancer-causing substance, at levels 900 times above the World Health Organization guideline.

The report presented to former president, Goodluck Jonathan, on August 4, 2011, was, however, not implemented throughout the life of Mr. Jonathan’s administration.

Barely three months after he assumed office in 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari approved several actions to fast-track the long delayed implementation of the UNEP report. Some of the actions included the amendment of the official gazette establishing the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project (HYPREP) and the approval of the composition of a Board of Trustees for the HYPREP Trust Fund.
The president also approved a $10 million initial take-off grant for the implementation of the report.
In February, Mr. Osinbajo said the federal government had secured over $1 billion dollar from Shell Petroleum Development Company for the clean-up, adding that a governing council and board of trustees had been inaugurated on August 4, 2016 and January 12 this year, respectively.

“A funding of one billion dollars at 200 million dollars per annum over five years has been provided by Shell to provide drinking water, conduct health impact assessment and demonstrate remediation technologies,” Mr. Osinbajo, a professor of Law, had said.

Thank you FG for this... Hope they finish well

I hope so too...but like they said....it's going to be a long job...a 25 year job.

And I doubt the clean up would really clean things up...pollution is pollution.

You are a wise man.

shut up

Davash222:

Your FG is doing this just for their Oil. No need to thank them. You should be apologizing and thanking the people of Ogoni.

And why didn't your ineffective buffoon from the region no do am for the oil?




Confused set of people....


The Igbos do not know what they want aswear

anonimi:


After years of looting the funds for the clean up?

The job has started.....at least.

Equipment has to be purchased, workers have to be trained, etc etc.

At least give the really useless APC some kudos for doing something right....PDP did nowt about the thing for 16 years.

Does not mean that APC is doing right by the delta though...they could do much more. Ogoni land is not the only area in need of a clean up too.

Davash222:
Any clean up without justice for Saro Wiwa is baseless.

OK oo ... fingers crossed.

I will wait until the project is completed.
I don't trust this government

Sarowiwa would be smiling in his grave now, knowing that justice and fairplay are finally coming to his people. Meaning he did not die in vain.

U are very irritating, y tag the past administration over this, Buhari seems like a God to you,

Ur senseless and childish comments helps in recruiting more Buhari hater. Ur thinking is very skewed, I know of some die hard Buhari fans that don't always sound stupid, unbaised, and can think for themselves.

Unlike u, u are just a retard wit a phone and Internet.
I pray ur kids don't inherit ur stupidity.

PS: I ain't a hater of Buhari, rather I'm a lover of the truth.

1.You can disagree with someone without calling them slowpoke.

2.Yes, it is within his right to tag the past administration....because GEJ, being a deltan, should have had issues like this at the front burner. Sadly he did not.

3.And the guy you quoted is a politician...it is his job to make things look good for his party.

4.And by the way, stop follow follow politicians. APC and PDP as far as I am concerned have failed Nigeria. The sad thing is Nigerians are not ready to break with them parties.

Thank you my brother, apc are truly evil party but pdp is worst. Had it been pdp were doing small small then apc would have been doing more than this. I pray another party not pdp ó, get power from apc the party will have the zeal to outperform apc too.
That way Nigeria will move forward. I stand on the side of no more to pdp, after 2023 apc too should go exile. The 2 party were the problem we are facing in the country. Right from the time of military, if you look well all of them old school spilt themselves in these 2 evil party

Pls shut your stinking mouth n give kudos to whom it is due. Deluded bigots like you will praise jerks like Ebele Jonathan than the likes of Buhari that take visible action at solving Nigeria's unending problems.

Wailers will not like this news , this is problem for them

You sound like a frustrated scavenger from the dungeon. I wouldn't have dissipated my energy trying to educate a slowpoke like you but for the sake of others who may not be conversant with happenings in the polity, let me remind you that HYPREP was set up in 2012 by GEJ & the first tranche of N1b was disbursed for the exercise.
While others are reading to acquire knowledge & skills, you are busy watching pornography.

So why wasn't anything done since 2012-15?
