The Governing Council of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) has pledged to expedite approvals for delayed livelihood projects as part of the Ogoni cleanup initiative, aimed at enhancing the living conditions of residents in Ogoniland's four local government areas. During an assessment visit to HYPREP's livelihood projects and remediation sites, Prof. Michael Wibiere, representing the council, emphasized the importance of transparency and adherence to established processes and procedures in releasing funds.
Wibiere stated that funds had already been released to expedite livelihood projects, and approvals for other projects would be pursued. The council identified the Lot 12 project in Ogale, Eleme Local Government Area, and the Ogoni Power Project as priorities, with plans to bring them before the board for resolution. They also expressed concerns over the attitude of some HYPREP training beneficiaries and urged them to make the most of the opportunities provided.
The council's visit to various project sites aimed to foster a stronger working relationship between the Project Coordination Office and the Governing Council, which they believe will enhance project execution.
