UNEP Report: MOSOP Threatens To Storm Abuja

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People  (MOSOP) has issued a June 30, 2014 ultimatum to the Federal Government to begin the process of cleaning up Ogoniland or face a series of protests in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
MOSOP threatened to storm Abuja, the nation’s capital, if the Federal Government failed to start the restoration of Ogoni environment based on the recommendations of the United Nations Environment Programme.
The group lamented that nothing had been done to clean up the area since the presentation of the report to the central government in 2011.
MOSOP President, Mr. Legborsi Pyagbara, said in a statement yesterday by his Media/Public Affairs Advisor, Mr. Bari-ala Kpalap, that government had continued to delay the implementation of the UNEP report, even when a high-powered delegation from Ogoni had visited President Goodluck Jonathan on the matter.
Pyagbara, who had earlier spoken at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, United States of America, described the Federal Government’s silence on the UNEP recommendations as insensitive and unfortunate.
He said, “as the World Environmental Day draws closer, the (MOSOP) has warned that if by June 30, the Federal Government of Nigeria fails to emplace any genuine process of restoring the Ogoni environment.
“At the expiration of the ultimatum, the series of peaceful protests deliberately delayed since last year would be resumed as MOSOP will have no choice than to mobilize the Ogoni people and her friends to march on Abuja in protest against its murderous inaction on the matter.
“In 2010, prior to the release of the report, UNEP had informed government and its agencies; and other relevant interests about the severity of the degradation of the Ogoni environment and advised quick and sustained response to prevent public health crisis in the region.
“True to UNEP’s declaration, between February and May 2014, the communities have collectively buried over 50 natives.
The deceases suffered cancer, lung (respiratory) and other adverse health conditions associated with hydrocarbon pollution,” he added

Amaechi Bags UN Diplomatic Passport, Award

Rivers State Governor, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has been honoured with the United Nations (UN) Diplomatic Passport for his contributions to human capital development as an ambassador of the UN.
Amaechi, who was earlier honoured with the ‘Associate Fellowship’ of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) in Geneva, Switzerland by the UN for his development of the education sector, was honoured with a UN diplomatic passport to further appreciate his genuine channeling of resources to the development of human race.
The award which was specifically for his contributions to the Education Sector has placed Rivers as the best state in Nigeria with 21st century education facility.
The award, in addition to diplomatic passport, entitles Amaechi to a UN certificate that confers immunity whenever on any UN Assignment.
The award was given to the governor for his contributions in the Education sector by placing Rivers State as the best state in Nigeria with 21st Century Educational facilities.
It is also for his outstanding contributions to United Nations Institute for Training and Research Programmes in Nigeria, and for promoting overall United Nations activities in the South-South geo-political zone of the country by providing an outstanding facility with the capacity of housing over 15 UN agencies in Port Harcourt.
UNITAR Country Director, Larry Boms said, “Governor Amaechi is recognized for his leadership in governance, infrastructural development, social economic development and distributional equity and justice.
“Besides the recognition the award bestows on the Amaechi administration, it has positioned Rivers State on the global map of United Nation Offices thanks to the governor’s support to UNITAR programmes. In the longer term, the presence of UNITAR would attract more UN agencies to Rivers State

Governor Amaechi's wife accuses PDP of insensitivity

The wife of the Rivers State Governor Dame Judith Amaechi has accused the state wing of  the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)of being insensitive to the plight of the kidnapped students of GSS Chibok
Dame Amaechi in a statement signed by her Media Assistant Dike Bekwele said rather than the party to involve all individuals irrespective of affiliation to pray for the release of the Girls, the party is insensitive and playing politics with the abduction. According to her, she said no responsible organisation especially  a political party will deride the fate and effort to rescue these innocent students, . Governor Amaechi’  Wife while reacting to a report credited to the PDP alluding that she has been indifference to the campaign to free the students said, such report is malicious and a figment of the imagination of an illiterate and ignorant  writer who has no respect and protection for minors. She said she  is a mother and understands the excruciating pains of parents whose children are still not found and their location is still unknown .
The Rivers First Lady who runs an Inter denominational fellowship centre the  Elmadon and the Leadership fellowship forum said rather than the PDP in Rivers State to seek God’s intervention following its inability and failure to protect live and property as stipulated in its constitutional terms of contract with the citizenry, It is  busy with campaign of calumny against her.
Dame Amaechi stated that the party especially in Rivers State is likened to an irresponsible father who is unable to cater for the welfare of his family  and has no recourse or justification to speech in the public domain.
Governor Amaechi’s wife said her role as spouse of the state chief executive  is to pray and intercede for the state and the nation in her closet and mobilise the Rivers People to alway for the state, the nation and their family
and not by dancing naked on the street or in the glare of a televised jamboree.
“I understand the ambit of my responsibility, am not the one that swore to protect lives and property of Nigerians, but am bound by obligation and biblical injunction to pray without season”
She added that the PDP’s report is a figment of imagination of a lazy writer who lack s iota of veracity of the story. “ as a mother I am not bound by blackmail to pray for my children, those children are my children’s contemporary and I feel so worried, all I do daily is to pray for them ,they are our future and I pray their eventual release help in the fight against terrorism in the Nigeria and around the world”
