Minister of Environment, Mohammed Abdullahi, has blamed some civil society organisations as well as some individuals in Rivers State for stalling Ogoni clean-up through unnecessary litigations.
Mr Abdullahi stated this while fielding questions from State House correspondents at the end of the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, in Abuja.
The minister was reacting to allegations by the Movement for Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) against the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) charged with implementing problematic Ogoni cleanup in Rivers of the slow pace of work as well as embezzlement.
