The Leader/Coordinator of All Communities affected by Shell Bonga Oil Spill in Niger Delta Mr. Amoma-Francis Monday has called for compensation for the communities affected by oil spill.

Mr. Monday made the call on Thursday in Warri Delta state after a team of experts from the Ministries of Environment and Health concluded their findings on the impact of the Shell Bonga oil spill.

He told newsmen that the 2011 oil spill had brought about different ailments and untold hardship on the communities along the coastal belt.

Mr. Monday said the situation prompted the group to draw the Federal Government’s attention to the affected communities.

The coordinator also noted that the experts were able to administer 60,000 questionnaires on 80 out of the 800 communities along the coast of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers to ascertain their challenges.

According to them, they are supposed to administer 200,000 questionnaires but because of logistics, they were able to administer only 60,000 in six days and these will be returned to government for evaluation.

He stated that the aim of the exercise is to draw government’s attention to the condition of the people living in the creeks and direct shell company to mop up the environment.

He also to urge Shell to release relief materials to the victims as directed by the National Assembly and also compensate them accordingly.
