The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has expressed delight over President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval of the governing council and board of trustees for the implementation of the Ogoni clean-up as recommended by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The Movement said in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Fegalo Nsuke: “Despite the initial startup challenges, MOSOP is delighted at the steady and progressive outcome of our engagement with the government and other stakeholders for the smooth take-off of the implementation process.

“We commend the president for the political will to drive this process to a logical conclusion and urge all stakeholders particularly the Ogoni people to continue to show similar commitment and unity to ensure a hitch-free clean-up exercise.”
