UPDATE ON THE ADVOCACY

Following the May 13th, 2026 warning protest held at the Federal Ministry of Environment, Mabushi Abuja, and in view of the massive public interest generated regarding our next action, we consider it imperative to update the public on developments regarding our demands for transparency, scientific accountability, and data-driven clean-up.

Days following the protest, we engaged extensively with principal officers of the Ministry, where we formally submitted evidences supporting our concerns. These include field videos, site observations, laboratory-related outcomes, and images revealing disturbing conditions observed across some remediation and shoreline locations in Ogoni.

During these engagements, the Ministry acknowledged the seriousness of the issues raised and informed us that the a department, which we visited, has commenced a technical review and investigation into the evidences submitted. We were further informed that a detailed technical report and recommendations will be presented to the Minister upon conclusion of the review process.

While we accepted the review process, we made it clear that the concerns raised are urgent environmental and public health matters that cannot be delayed indefinitely. However, the Ministry appealed for an extension of our 14-day ultimatum and assured us that the technical report is expected to reach the Honourable Minister by Monday, 1st June 2026, after which appropriate action is expected within the week.

Against this backdrop, and in consideration of the ongoing institutional engagement, we have resolved to extend our ultimatum pending the outcome of the technical review and the Minister’s response.

At this point, let it be clearly stated once again that our movement is not against the . Our position remains firm and consistent - the clean-up must be transparent, scientifically credible, environmentally safe, and backed by verifiable data that the Ogoni people can access and trust.

It is necessary to state that the growing concerns and campaign for transparency in the Ogoni clean-up process have now begun attracting the attention of international observers, environmental stakeholders, and organizations interested in institutional accountability, and ecological restoration.

It is also important to state that preparations relating to and other lawful civic actions have continued at top gear in the event that the Ministry fails to act decisively on the technical findings and concerns raised.

While we remain committed to constructive engagement, transparency and accountability in matters of environmental justice and public health cannot be delayed indefinitely.

Yesterday, our Executive Director, appeared on a live television program to speak on the protest demanding remediation evidence from the Federal Ministry of Environment and HYPREP.

This struggle is about environmental justice, transparency, accountability, and the future of our people.

The is a pilot for what is to come across the Niger Delta region, and we must ensure it is done right.

Our demands are simple: publish the remediation reports, disclose the closed-out sites, release the groundwater data, and make public the ecotoxicological analysis of our seafood.

Yesterday, we mobilized women, youths, community members, and cultural groups from Ogoni to peacefully gathered at the Federal Ministry of Environment, Mabushi Abuja, demanding environmental data and evidence of the ongoing cleanup in Ogoni.

For months now, we submitted formal correspondences, raised technical questions, participated in stakeholder engagements, and issued a 14-day ultimatum regarding very serious concerns observed across 10 remediation sites in Ogoni. Yet, critical questions remain unanswered.

We are asking simple questions:
Where is the environmental data?
Where are the ecotoxicological test result?
What is killing your crabs and other seafoods in site you claim restoration?
Why are you using single and two (without proper spacing) booming system?
Why has HYPREP refused to publicly disclose the names and detailed reports of “closed-out” sites.

During the protest, senior officials of the Ministry, including the Director Human Resource Management, engaged us extensively, admitted and apologized for not responding to our previous correspondence. The Permanent Secretary who was currently in Ogoni, also communicated.

While we give them few days to release all necessary data and verifiable scientific clarification on the issue raised. We are considering and preparing for a 3-day mega protest at the National Assembly Headquarters FCT, where we would call for Legislative Audit on HYPREP.

EARTH DAY 2026: GREENSHIELD VIRTUAL DIALOGUE

Yesterday, we successfully held our dialogue session in commemoration of Earth Day 2026. Today, I am filled with gratitude and a strong sense of responsibility.

First, I sincerely appreciate our Guest Speaker, Amb. Faithful of Extinction Rebellion Nigeria, whose presentation added clarity, depth, and a sense of ownership. He outlined practical ways communities can take the lead in restoring the Niger Delta.

In the presentation of our Executive Director, Muekara Monday, he emphasized that: “Restoration cannot be outsourced. The communities that have been degraded must lead the restoration process.” No external intervention can replace the knowledge, commitment, and ownership of the people affected directly.

He also stressed that young people do not need power to make change in their environment - what we need is courage. The courage to act, to speak, to organize, and to take responsibility.

Beyond dialogue, we pushed for action. We challenged participants to make clear and SMART commitments, which they did:

Mr. O. Chris pledged to reach atleast 30 young people, sharing lessons from the dialogue, to discourage single-use plastics, and promote tree planting.

Mr. Albert Suanu committed to engaging his colleagues and planting 5 trees within his facility by next week.

Miss Monday committed to reaching out to 5 of her friends with key lessons from the dialogue.

Many other participants including Zorle Anderson Ken Barizorge Feghe Wite, Felix, and others also made meaningful commitments. I say thank you.

I encourage all participants to follow through on their commitments and share feedback as they take action latest 30th April 2026.

The future of the Niger Delta depends on what we do now.

A papaya plant growing from concrete is a sign that nature is more stronger than human's neglect. But imagine it's strength if we stop harming it.
