Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People has disagreed with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company Limited over resumption of oil exploration in Ogoni land. This as the ethnic group has insisted that NPDC, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation , wanted to resume oil activities in the area through the back door.
In a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of the MOSOP, Friday Nkpah, the group said there were more to the promises made by the company, judging by recent developments in the Niger Delta. “If it meant well, it would have painstakingly pursued consultations and secure the approval of the people before embarking on any other activity else. We recall that in 2017, we persistently protested against NPDC’s attempts at obtaining a dubious mandate to commence oil extraction in our land.
MOSOP said it was their position that, although the company might have built its current action on the reported judicial decision earlier mentioned, it requires the people’s social license to be able to operate the Ogoni concession of OML 11.
