Today, alongside the people and leaders of Bille Kingdom, Social Action and partner organizations publicly released a new report: “From Extraction to Eruption: Oil, Gas and the Unfolding Environmental and Health Crisis in Bille Kingdom.”

The findings includes:
❌ Gas bubbling from community water sources
❌ Contaminated wells used for daily living
❌ Growing health risks from exposure
❌ Threats to livelihoods and the environment

While we acknowledge the ₦100 million palliative support announced by the Rivers State Government, the scale of this crisis demands far more urgent and coordinated intervention.

We are calling for immediate action:
✅ Safe drinking water for affected communities
✅ Independent environmental assessments
✅ Emergency health response services
✅ Humanitarian relief for residents
✅ Accountability for environmental harm

For decades, Bille has carried the burden of oil extraction. Its people should not be left to suffer the consequences alone.

The evidence is now public.
The voices of Bille have been heard.

The time for accountability and decisive action is NOW.

Violence against journalists is an attack on press freedom, accountability, and democracy itself. No media practitioner should face intimidation, harassment, or assault for simply doing their job.

We stand in solidarity with journalists and call for accountability for every act of violence against the press.

Journalism is not a crime.

Social Action, in collaboration with Rivers State Civil Society Organizations, condemns attacks on journalists in Port Harcourt

At a press conference convened by Social Action in collaboration with Rivers State Civil Society Organizations today, April 27, 2026, civil society leaders strongly condemned the recent attacks on journalists in Port Harcourt, describing them as a dangerous assault on press freedom, democracy, and citizens’ right to access information.

As Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections, attacks on media practitioners threaten transparency, accountability, and public trust in the democratic process. Journalists must be allowed to carry out their constitutional responsibilities without fear, harassment, or violence.

The coalition called for:

✔️ Immediate investigation and prosecution of perpetrators
✔️ Protection of journalists and media houses in Rivers State
✔️ Stronger security measures for journalists under threat
✔️ Collaboration between INEC and the media to ensure safe election coverage
✔️ Greater support systems for journalists reporting sensitive issues

Civil society groups also urged political actors to respect democratic values, reject violence, and refrain from rhetoric that endangers journalists.

An attack on one journalist is an attack on democracy itself.

Social Action and Rivers State CSOs remain committed to defending human rights, civic freedoms, and ensuring peaceful, free, and credible elections in 2027.

We captured the outcome of the proceedings and the continued refusal to release the forensic audit report, despite its importance to public accountability. The claim that the Niger Delta Commission is “no longer in existence” raises even more concerns about access to critical information that affects millions of Nigerians.

This is not just a legal issue—it is about justice, transparency, and the right of citizens to know.
