He said the team had come from Abuja to get information and interact with people living in the area, making moves on how the company responsible for the disaster can be held responsible for remediation, cleanup and compensation for victims.
The president of the Committee pointed out that the National Assembly, through the Petroleum Industry Law (PIA), has been able to offer solutions to the threat.

He urged all operating companies to take environmental issues more seriously, lamenting that the impacts of such degradation through exploration have always left host communities poorer and more deplorable.
The chairman of the committee, however, stated that they could not decide on the matter until they submit their report to the leadership of the National Assembly, which will find a lasting solution to the threat.
“There are modes of operations, it should not be that they come and extract and leave. It must be that they must have a relationship with people. I think with the PIA will come a lot more innovation and remediation,” he said. (Nigerian Tribune)
