President Buhari to launch the Ogoni land clean-up exercise on June 2nd

President Buhari will launch the Ogoni land
clean-up on June 2nd. Minister of Environment,
Amina Mohammed, disclosed this when she
visited Bodo in Gokana Local Government Area
of the state to inspect an oil spill clean-up
demonstration this weekend.
“I can confirm that President Buhari will
visit Ogoni land on June 2 to flag-off
clean-up of oil spills in the area as
recommended in the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) report.
Buhari would return to Ogoni land where
he inaugurated a fish pond in 1984 where
the once flourishing pond regrettably had
been destroyed by oil pollution. The
Federal Government is coming back to
restore the ecosystem to what it used to
be and as such restore the peoples’
source of livelihood. We are not just
committed to implementing the UNEP
report but we are also going beyond that
by taking steps to improve security, good
governance and economy of the Niger
Delta region. I can assure that the clean-
up exercise is only the beginning, as Mr
President is focused on restoring hope to
the people of the region”she said.
