Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike says his administration is ready to partner with the Federal Ministry of Environment to improve the living condition of Ogoni people, after years of environmental degradation.
Wike disclosed this when the Minister of Environment, Dr Mohammad Mahmood Abukabar paid him a Courtesy visit at Government House, Port Harcourt on Monday.
He called on the Federal Government not to politicize the implementation of the alternative component of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), recommendation on the Ogoni clean up.
He said the Federal Government should ensure that those who are to be trained in agribusiness and others are truly Indigenes of Ogoni.
Wike stated that the inclusion of names of persons who are not indigenes of Ogoni, will not be in the interest of the people who have suffered decades of environmental pollution.
