Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

The Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) has reaffirmed its commitment to best practices and full implementation of the Ogoni cleanup, as recommended by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

In his message to mark the World Environment Day 2026, Project Coordinator, Prof. Nenibarini Zabbey, pledged to advance HYPREP’s ambition for citizen-led sustainable climate action in the Niger Delta.

He said, “As this year’s global campaign highlights the urgent signals our Earth is sending and calls for immediate, accelerated action to address climate change and environmental degradation.

“For HYPREP, this day holds profound significance as we continue our mandate to restore the integrity of Ogoniland’s socio-ecological landscape and revitalise communities affected by decades of hydrocarbon pollution.
