Sterling petrochemical and fertilizer Ltd should be called to order.

18/11/2025

We refuse to be silenced. The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA, 2021) is a law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria — not a suggestion, not an opinion, and not something to be discussed “after laying pipes.”
Compliance with the PIA is mandatory for every settlor operating in any host community in Nigeria.

So we ask:

1. Why has the settlor failed to establish proper consultation and engagement as required under the PIA?

2. Why has the Host Community Development Trust (HCDT) not been initiated in line with Sections 234–257 of the PIA?

3. Why should Edem Idim community accept pipeline activities when the operators have not fulfilled their legal obligations?

4. Why are ancestral streams, roads, and economic trees being damaged without due process and proper environmental and social impact procedures?

5. Why should a law created to protect host communities be ignored while intimidation is used against community leadership?

We stand firmly with the people of Edem Idim.
Intimidation is not compliance.
Silencing communities is not development.
And no company—foreign or local—can place itself above Nigerian law.

Justice for Edem Idim Community.

Memorial Tribute to Ken Saro-Wiwa — 30 Years After**

Today, November 10th, marks 30 years since the Nigerian state executed Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others for daring to speak truth to power. Yet, decades later, Ken Saro-Wiwa lives on—in our voices, in our struggle, and in every community that refuses to bow to oppression.

As an organisation committed to justice and sustainable development, Jama Community Empowerment Foundation stands proudly as one of the disciples carrying forward Ken Saro-Wiwa’s legacy. We stand in the gap where he once stood, defending the rights of communities whose lands and livelihoods continue to be exploited.

Ken Saro-Wiwa rejected the peanuts offered by settlers.
He rejected the destruction of his people’s environment.
He rejected silence—even when betrayal came from within.

He fought for dignity, sustainable development, and environmental justice—principles we uphold today.

To the youths of the Niger Delta:
If the gold, coltan, and mineral wealth in Zamfara can enrich private miners and powerful actors without accountability, why must the oil and gas of the Niger Delta be treated as worthless? Why must our communities suffer pollution, marginalisation, and environmental destruction?

Justice for Edem Idim.
Justice for every neglected Niger Delta community.

We call on all communities to rise, organise, and pursue incorporation—because incorporation brings visibility, accountability, and the foundation for sustainable development.

Today, we honour Ken Saro-Wiwa not with silence, but with action.
Not with mourning, but with a renewed commitment to the struggle.

Ken Saro-Wiwa lives.
And we, Jama Community Empowerment Foundation, continue his fight.
