The interim administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Colonel Milland Dikio (rtd), has thrown his weight behind the war against illegal

Dikko, who made the declaration at the weekend in Port Harcourt, during the 50th anniversary dinner and award night of the Port Harcourt Polo Club, said Wike’s effort should be complemented by all stakeholders in the region.

He said illegal refineries were not the only cause of the environmental devastation in the region, insisting that other harmful practices are also responsible for polluting the environment. The Amnesty boss said: “I commend the Rivers State Governor, Wike, for taking on the issue of illegal oil refineries also known as kpofire head on. But a lot of work still needs to be done.“Kpofire is not the only pollutant and so individually and collectively what are we doing, especially corporate organizations to reduce unwanted emissions into our environment?”

Dikio also urged people of the Niger Delta to stop bickering over the alloted percentage for host communities in the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, saying opportunity would be created for future negotiation. He said: “I will say that instead of quarreling about the percentage, we should be talking about what to do with the percentage we got, build on it and we can have another discussion after that.”
