President Bola Tinubu met with Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and prominent leaders from Ogoniland at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

 The meeting, attended by top federal officials and stakeholders, is believed to focus on critical issues affecting the Niger Delta region.  

Governor Fubara was accompanied by Senators Magnus Abe, Lee Maeba, Olaka Nwogu, Chief Victor Giadom, and other prominent figures from Ogoniland.

Federal officials present included the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Mele Kyari; Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abba; Minister of Information and National Orientation, Idris Mohammed; Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh; and National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu.  

Though the agenda was not officially disclosed, discussions are expected to address the cleanup of Ogoniland and the potential resumption of oil exploration in the area. 

These issues have sparked debates in recent months, with civil society organizations demanding a $1 trillion allocation for environmental restoration and compensation before oil activities resume.  

The 2011 UNEP report highlighted extensive pollution in Ogoniland, affecting land, water, and air, and recommended comprehensive cleanup efforts.

 Activists have expressed disappointment over delays in implementing the report’s recommendations and called for urgent action to address the environmental and economic concerns of the region.
