Ogoni youths demand Bori State, implementation of dialogue report

The Coalition of Ogoni Youth Groups (COYOG) has called on President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government to implement the demands from the Ogoni dialogue process, with a focus on the creation of Bori State. In a statement, COYOG emphasized that the dialogue is a collective struggle for justice, environmental restoration, political inclusion, resource control, and sustainable development.

The group stressed that the outcomes must reflect the aspirations of the Ogoni people and warned against attempts by politicians and vested interests to hijack the process for personal or political gain. COYOG urged the Federal Government to issue a clear interim Memorandum of Understanding detailing institutional responsibilities, timelines, funding, monitoring mechanisms, and public reporting.
