The Paramount Ruler of Bodo City in Rivers, King John Beredon, has urged the Federal Government to mobilise contractors to site to commence the remediation

Beredon made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Bodo, Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers.

The paramount ruler, however, commended President Muhammadu Buhari on his political will to drive the clean-up programme and pleaded that contractors be mobilised to site without further delay. “We expect that the exercise should start in earnest with a progressive proof with contractors starting the remediation of impacted sites.

“The programme with a life span of about 25 years will take quite a long time, the truth is that our people cannot continue existing in a polluted environment for as much as a decade that is why I’m calling on government to give urgent attention to the plight of Ogoni people and her environment.
