, was disappointed that two years after the release of funds, not a single site out of the sixty-five contaminated sites marked for clean-up was certified “clean”.has, over the years, been destroyed by oil leaks leading to the destruction of surrounding waters and farm lands. A report by the United Nations Environment Programme after scientific study, recommended a total clean-up of the environment saying the extent of water and environmental pollution in the Rivers communities was alarming.

An investigation by PREMIUM TIMES in 2018 showed that despite official claims, the clean-up was yet to start. The $360 million was contribution from multinational oil companies in the last two years to the $1 billion the UNEP report had said was needed to clean up Ogoniland. The Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abubarkar, who also expressed displeasure at the situation, pleaded for more time to work out new plans on how to get the Ogoniland clean-up project on proper tracks.

Probably the 8th Nass. The rubber stamp 9th don't have the audacity to be angry anything the executive does.
