President Buhari vows to clean up Ogoniland
 |
| Niger Delta |
President
Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Nairobi reaffirmed his resolve to implement the United Nations Environmental Programme’s
(UNEP’s) recommendations for the clean up of Ogoniland and other parts
of Niger Delta damaged by crude oil spillage.
The president, through the Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said: “When
I came into office on May 29, 2015, one of the first tasks I carried
out was to authorise the implementation of the recommendations of UNEP
for the clean-up of Ogoniland.
“The devastation caused by oil spillage
has destroyed lives and livelihoods and is one of the reasons people in
that region lost faith in government and resorted to criminal
activities.
“The action our government took to implement UNEP’s recommendations has given the indigenes hope.”
Buhari said with half of the world’s population in cities, leaders must pay greater attention to rapid urbanisation.
President
Buhari undertook the symbolic planting of a tree, a tradition reserved
for visiting Heads of State and Government before leaving the UN.
