A Non-Governmental Organisation that focuses on ecological justice in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, We the People, has called on the Federal

Government to come up with a framework that would guide multinational oil companies that want to disengage from their areas of operation in the region.

Henshaw, while presenting a new report of the organisation titled “Dirty Exit” said the framework should contain a scientifically developed post-hydrocarbon impact assessment report that establishes the exact ecological and livelihood impacts of oil extraction. Henshaw said the audit was aimed at unravelling the negative health impacts of exposure to hydrocarbons.

According to the statement: “The Federal Government needs to immediately produce a framework and guide for how oil companies disengage from areas where they have operated. This guide should be developed by a multi-stakeholder group including communities and civil society organizations.”
