Ogoni elders and leaders in Rivers State have expressed anger over the ongoing clean-up of their devastated land saying the project has so far failed to achieve the expected results.
The Chairman of the forum, Sen. Bennett Birabi, who addresses a World Press Conference in Port Harcourt, on Monday lamented that a recent performance indices released by the United Nations Environmental Report office showed that HYPREP scored zero in eight out of 10 performance indices. “This, in our view, is an insulting conspiratorial arrangement to perpetually under develop Ogoni. It depicts the manner of games that are played with the lives of Ogoni people; but it has got to stop.”
He said there was lack of attention to the recommendations of UNEP on the area of emergency insisting that the health of the people were endangered by their continuous exposure to the polluted environment.
