Speaking on the government’s commitment, Tinubu emphasized that restarting oil activities would be carried out responsibly, with strong attention to environmental sustainability and community development.
He assured the people that, the mistakes of the past would not be repeated, promising that host communities would be carried along in decision-making.
The announcement has stirred cautious optimism among stakeholders. While some view it as a step toward economic revival and job creation, others insist that the government must first address issues of environmental degradation, compensation, and trust-building with the Ogoni people.
Observers say the success of the project will depend largely on how well the government balances oil production with the urgent need to restore the polluted lands and waters of Ogoniland.
