President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, to immediately commence engagements with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), the Ogoni people, and other key stakeholders to finalise modalities for the resumption of oil production in Ogoniland.
The directive, announced on Saturday, underscores the administration’s commitment to unlocking the region’s oil potential while addressing long-standing environmental and community concerns.
The move is expected to pave the way for renewed dialogue, economic opportunities, and sustainable development in the Niger Delta, particularly for the Ogoni people who have long demanded fair treatment and environmental justice.
