The Governing Council of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) has pledged to tackle challenges slowing the implementation of the Ogoni oil spill clean-up, remediation and restoration exercise.

The council gave the assurance on Wednesday following an inspection tour of remediation and water projects in the affected Ogoni communities in Rivers State.

Leading the inspection team, Prof. Nwibere Barinedum Michael said the council had identified funding, flooding and accessibility as some of the major challenges affecting the timely execution of projects across the area.
