The Nigerian senate has ordered a probe into the cleanup exercise of Ogoniland launched by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2016.
The decision followed a motion moved by Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment to mark the World Environment Day.
She expressed dismay that despite the launch of the $1bn project, work has not commenced in the area.
Sen. Magnus Abe corroborated this view, saying there was nothing on ground yet to show that the clean up was designed to actually cleanup the area. He said that farmlands were still polluted while rivers of oil spills still abound.
