The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has called for stronger penalties against oil companies and businesses whose operations pollute the environment. President of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke, who made the call in a statement issued on Sunday to mark this year’s World Food Day, said pollution has significantly reduced community capacity for food production in societies where legislation has been tolerant of reckless business practices that harm the environment.

President of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke, who made the call in a statement issued on Sunday to mark this year’s World Food Day, said pollution has significantly reduced community capacity for food production in societies where legislation has been tolerant of reckless business practices that harm the environment.

According to him, the region has been wrecked by poverty and hunger due to dwindling food production capacity, accelerated by massive crude oil pollution from the activities of the Shell Petroleum Development Company , Nigeria's subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell.Nsuke said the Nigerian government has not done enough to curb the seeming liberty of oil firms to pollute indigenous environment and native lands as there are little or no consequences to deter these actions.
