Oil Spillage: Eleme/Ogu Communities Seek Government’s Intervention

Immediate action required to address reported oil spillage in Eleme/Ogu Communities in Rivers State resulting from Shell Trans Niger Pipeline!

Despite the gravity of this spillage and the environmental disaster it poses.

Calls to Shell by community members have remained unanswered.

We are calling on @Shell to take immediate action to mitigate the devastating impacts this spill is having on the ecosystem, health, and livelihood of affected communities.

We are also calling on the Federal Government of Nigeria @NigeriaGov to review and strengthen existing regulations related to oil spill prevention, response, and liability. Implement stricter measures to hold responsible parties accountable.

For their actions and deter future occurrence of such incidents.

The people of Eleme/Ogu deserve better.
