The Cable Newspaper Journalism Foundation has lamented that work is yet to commence almost two months after the Federal Government pledged water projects in Ogoniland, as part of its efforts to implement the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report.

It said months after the Minister of Environment, Dr. Mohammad Abubakar unveiled the N6.7b water facility in Bori, Khana Council of Rivers State, with assurance of its speedy execution of the project, nothing was on ground to show that the project would begin any time soon.

Adams, who presented a drama titled: Environmental Refugees, explained that the event was organised to stir up government’s response to the cleanup of oil polluted Ogoniland, saying that the Ogoni environment had been polluted for so long, which is an injustice to them. “The water project and the cleanup are just a media show, because Ogoni people still lack water and their environment still polluted.”They should also address the livelihood issues of youths involved in artisanal refining, so that they don’t continue polluting the environment while the cleanup is ongoing.
