🔴Window Dressing on the Eve of Oil Drilling🔴 🌐 Nigeria’s Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP)is boastingthat it starts training 100 Ogoni youths in mechatronics, preparing them for the “opportunities” of oil extraction return to Nigeria’s Ogoniland. ❗️This is the same regionwhere oil spills have poisoned land and water for decades, and HYPREP is the body that was supposed to do the cleanup after oil companies failed to do it. ⏩ President Tinubu’s government began to push to restart oil production in Ogoniland in 2024, while HYPREP has mostly failed to keep its word and ruined a 2011 rehabilitation plan, proposed by the UN. Now it is pretending that the work has been successfully accomplished and Ogoniland can move towards new well drilling. With the scent of fresh oil drilling in the air, the shiny new skills program serves as a way to hide the fact of the state’s inability to remediate the environmental disaster originating from the previous era of oil extraction. ➡️ Stay informed - @devilsbelow
