 The House of Representatives has promised that the communities affected by oil spillage and explosion in our way in a larger local gupenteria of understate will be compensated and that environmental justice will also be ensured for the people of the area. The chairman, House of Representatives Committee on the House of Communities, Duman Nene Dekor at an interactive session at Uwukong Kingdom said that the three man committee have visited the state for an on-the-sport assessment of the affected areas and to interact with the people at the level of damage to the communities. He said that team is making moves to hold the company responsible for the disaster liable to remediate, clean up and compensate the victims. The National Assembly with the Petroleum Industry Act has been able to provide solutions to some of these issues. We hope that to be operational, that law will be operational and it will address a lot of these issues. But I think as an individual that I have to call on operating companies to take environmental issues a bit more seriously and also to look at their mode of oppression. It shouldn't be we just come and extract and go away. It should be we come and have a relationship with the people.
