Well, Action starts June 2... Hopefully, the people cleaning up the place do not get kidnapped.

I promise u even d Native Doctors of d Niger delta will give those cleaners special protection. My worry is this move may have come too late and at the wrong time. Those militant may see this as a good sign to push on to archive all the rest of their goals.

There is no other time it would have come. It was announced last year, they had to do all the necessary consultations before going forward.

Militants that are blowing pipelines do not care about environmental cleanliness.

Am a Niger Delta guy, and a proud Wailer.
But if this news about Buhari cleaning up Ogoni land is true, then i support him on this.
He should also Clean up other Niger Delta Communities in Bayelsa, Delta, Cross River and Akwa ibom.
If this cleaning up operations continues, then i see no reason for the Niger Delta Avengers to blow up pipelines...

...so only this can make u support buhari huh

EGOTISTICAL!!!!....buhari is the only president that will come out and tell nigerians the truth about the state of the nation. Thats why pple are thinking he is incompetent!!!..quote me everywhere!!!!!!!!

Just that- a GESTURE.
No more, no less.
All in an effort to get more OIL from the Niger Delta to be shared by his fellow northerners who own the wells and have juicy positions dominating the federal administration.

Seeeeeeee:
what he's about to do lacks sincerity of purpose, for example if a girl come's to visit you and you need sex and she refused when she wanted to go she asked for transport you don't give her, since she is not with transport and no where to get it and she now give's you the sex... It's conditional that you got it no sincerity of purpope.

Look at this ediot

Your Father died a parasite to the Niger Delta Oil think more than your father, the Niger Delta Avenger's are talking about Total resource control or True Federalism, and the return of oil blocs bubu is talking about cleaning of ogoni land, if i may ask is ogoni land the only place oil is drilled? With Total Resource control the Niger Delta can clean the whole Niger Delta not just ogoni land.. If you don't know with resource control we control our oil and give FG 13%, with that no sharing of state allocation again, Governor's are lazy because they are waiting for oil money to be shared at the end of the month so that they can run their state and pay salaries the economy should be diversify not just dependent only on oil. What we are experiencing now is known as Dutch diease.

Really? Which do you think is easier? "Sorting" a few of their leaders (in the name of amnesty as has been the norm) or doing the actual clean up?

I'm not surprised though. Even Jesus was crucified.

Let me tell PMB knows what he is doing..

When the environment of your homeland is so ruined by oil spills that don't even let you farm or fish to earn a livelihood. You watch you fathers protest and get hanged by the neck, your elder brothers take up the protest and get branded as terrorists. While all this is going on the government and private individuals that are not even from you land make billions off the very land they do not cherish as indigines. Politicans loot and celebrate while you die of hunger because the polluted land on which you toil won't provide anymore.
A day will come when you will say to hell with reason! let wreck on but you, destroyers of my land, will never gain.
The youths of the Niger Delta have reached that point now. Let us hope they can be recalled to reason.

So your house is on fire and you set fire to other houses in your neighborhood huh

Let us be honest with ourselves, these guys don't care about Niger delta, they will not be polluting your land more if they did.

This Ogoni clean up will take 25-30 years yet some people are polluting the area more... It will take decades to clean.

Buhari is the first leader to actually start the process of cleaning the Niger Delta instead of just giving money to elders and militants.

We told the wailers to be patience with PMB, but their hatred for him just wouldn't let them see reason. Just one year into office, and he is about cleaning up Ogoni, a place where their hero, GEJ, a Niger deltan, for that matter, never bothered about.

congratulate first after a job well done not before a job to be done.... let's all pray for our leaders...

if your brain has a place for history you will know that the incidents on your picture happened during GEJ

That's a good initiative.

I hope he will see it through and that subsequent leaders won't abandon the project.

I agree with u on all points........but......have u every know modern youth to think rationally ? When they are passionate about something they take action according to that passion not wisdom.
A youth who has his property damaged by someone will most likely destroy it completely our of rage as he attacks the person who inflicted the damage, bottles are broken and people, even peacemakers get stabbed.
This is d way it runs now.
This was why I said 'I hope its not too late and that PMB may have gone to action at a wrong time'.
showing support in any way for a youth in hot blood is dangerous. Those youths may see his actions as a sign of victory on their part

You seem to know a lot about this stuff. Please educate me on the procedure and duration this type of clean up usually takes. Thanks.

My comments stem from the fact that in the entire original post NDDC was mentioned without mentioning the roles of the main Regulator of HSE in the oil and gas industry which is DPP. NDDC is only the herald/disbursement Ministry in this case. DPR has a robust HSE Division with a strong Pollution Control Unit manned by Environmentalists and Engineers. NOSDRA under the FMENV also handles issues bordering on National (Tier 3) spills.

The procedure varies slightly from country to country. However it should involve the submission of the a Letter of Intent and a Clean Up Plan/Scope of work and Terms of Reference. This document will include aspects like:
-Clean Up Strategy
-Scope (does it involve remediation, monitoring, replanting of trees/vegetation etc.)
-Schedule
-Personnel/Manpower
-Materials
-Cost
-HSE Management and Security
-Community engagement
-etc.
-etc.

It will also state if Chemicals or GEMS will be used for the remediation aspect and the DPR Permit status on the chemicals. DPR approves the deployment of all Clean-up and combat chemicals including chemicals like dispersants, degreasers, etc.

The regulatory agencies will/may nominate staff who will monitor the ongoing clean-up/remediation process and progress. Once the activity starts it is monitored. Clean-up and Remediation are not exactly the same thing. Usually you have Containment, Recovery, Clean-up, Remediation and Monitoring. Offshore for instance clean up could involve containment/recovery or dispersal but with no remediation. Onshore however, most clean-up efforts extend into remediation.

Clean-up methods usually involve physical removal and the application of biological agents that break up the oil. Physycal clean-up involves the use of skimmers and other mechanical equipment to remove excess oil (excavators,skimmers,gelling agents, mobile water-oil separating devices etc). Biological Agents are added to further break down the oil,while other agents may be added to aid plant growth after clean-up. Usually the site is monitored over time with soil samples and plant/animal (bioaccumulation/biomagnification concerns) tissue samples analyzed. SOURCE-PATHWAY-RECEPTOR-CONSEQUENCE Model may be applied for further fate and effect assessment depending on scope.

Usually when monitoring results show that environmental parameters are good enough or close to what is obtainable within that environment and the site can sustain plant/animal life the site is put to good use and monitored for long term impacts.

It is difficult determining how long it will take. No clean-up effort is the same. And even on the same site, no day is the same with another. Daily challenges are faced from people (protests, community agitation etc) and the environment (rain, snow, marshy terrain etc.). Also, will the exercise stop at just clean up or will it further go into remediation/restoration and monitoring? Characteristics e.g.Size/extent, thickness etc. of the spill is also a factor.

Per site it could take a few months.
