President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the leaders of Ogoni land to sensitize indigenes on the value of protecting national assets like pipelines and other oil installations.
Buhari, who received the Ogoni leaders at the State House today in Abuja, stated that willful damages to such assets usually create havoc on their environment and hamper development in the area.
He noted that the Federal Government is committed to the cleaning up of Ogoni land so that indigenes can regain their lives, return to their farms and reactivate economic activities.
The President, however, maintained that the environmental degradation of Ogoni land due to massive spills, which has led to agitations and strife, could be blamed on bad industry practices coupled with security challenges.
