Oil related resources and projects.Random Quote
Forgotten in this new scramble for African resources are the people of the Niger Delta, who have received little benefit from 50 years of oil production in their midst. They continue to suffer from dire environmental pollution and human rights abuses. Exploiting the oil are multinational oil companies – which have been complicit over the years in creating the situation in the Delta today. Governments in Europe and North America have also played a role through supporting the activities of their oil companies and by creating and maintaining the tax haven system, which has facilitated the theft of billions of dollars in oil revenues by Nigeria’s elites.
