Finally, Ogoni Clean-up gets new shape... As Amina unveil plans

 



The Minister for Environment Amina Mohammed has said the Ogoni clean-up is ongoing. Reacting to the clean-up exercise that was flagged by President Mohammadu Buhari, she noted that all resources have been made available and the money has been released. Mrs Mohammed, added that they needed the structure to be  in place so that the money will go into the ground where people will feel the impact. She further stressed that its important  to put together structure and make sure that they have a solid foundation. 
According to her, “talking about Ogoni spill, all resources have been made available and the money has been released. But if you do not have structure in place the money will go into the ground and people will not feel the impact. It is important for us to put together structure and make sure that we have a solid foundation. Who is in the office, who is the budget manager and how are they recruiting? All of these were not taken care of in the past. But this time, we believe that by the time we leave, people will see result. It will be a continuing process and in the next few months people will be seeing some of the issues that they had not seen.” . The minister made this speech yesterday at the 10th anniversary of NOSDRA in Abuja.
