Niger Delta Group Wants Shell’s Oil Assets Sale Halted, Seeks Compensation

A Niger Delta group, the Alliance for the Defence of Eleme, has kicked against the recently announced deal by Shell to exit its onshore operations and sell its oil and gas assets to a consortium of five firms.

Leader of the alliance, Johnson Mba-Ngei, in a statement at the weekend condemned the move, insisting that the international oil company must fully discharge its responsibilities to highly impacted communities before its planned withdrawal.
