The Amnesty International (AI) and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD) will next week launch a new report exposing what it described as Shell’s false statements about its efforts to clean up oil spills in the Niger Delta at a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria.
The Press Officer, AI Nigeria, Mr. Eulette Ewart, in a statement yesterday, said despite promising to act on a 2011 United Nations Environmental Programme (UNDP) report exposing shocking levels of pollution caused by oil spills, ‘Clean it up: Shell’s failure to tackle oil spills in Nigeria’ documents that Shell has either not cleaned up or has done it so badly that oil still pollutes the land.
