THE governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has accused oil companies of polluting the environment in the Niger Delta.

He said because of the exploration and production of crude oil and gas without much attention to the environment, the flora and fauna have been destroyed in the region.

He said: “We would need the support of our brothers and sisters in the diaspora because there is so much we will achieve if we work together.” “No matter the proceeds gotten from the illegal refining, it cannot be enough for the people and communities. Those perpetrating the act should desist.”
