AI REPORT BLAMES SHELL, EXPOSES FAILURE TO CLEAN NIGER DELTA OIL SPILLS

AI Report Blames Shell, Exposes Failure to Clean Niger Delta Oil SpillsThe Amnesty International (AI) and the Centre for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD) will next week launch a new report exposing what it described as Shell’s false statements about its efforts to clean up oil spills in the Niger Delta at a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria.

The Press Officer, AI Nigeria, Mr. Eulette Ewart, in a statement yesterday, said despite promising to act on a 2011 United Nations Environmental Programme (UNDP) report exposing shocking levels of pollution caused by oil spills, ‘Clean it up: Shell’s failure to tackle oil spills in Nigeria’ documents that Shell has either not cleaned up or has done it so badly that oil still pollutes the land.
