Ogoni Stakeholders Urge Inclusion in National Development Plan Amidst Challenges

Ogoni stakeholders, represented by Christian Lekia of the Ogoni Civil Society Stakeholders Forum, are calling on the Federal Government to integrate Ogoniland into the national development plan. This appeal stems from the need to address the economic deprivation and difficulties faced by the Ogoni people, particularly in the context of oil exploration in the region.

The stakeholders emphasize the importance of recognizing Ogoniland as a crucial part of the nation's development agenda to ensure responsible oil exploration and improve the quality of life for the Ogoni community.
