Nigeria: Communities decry effects of Bonga oil spill

Fishermen, under the aegis of Famous Fishing Organisation (FFO), have said the recent bonga oil spill had negatively affected the economy of coastal settlements in Akwa Ibom. Mr Umoekeyo Eno, legal adviser of the organisation in Oron, said that the fishermen would be compelled to seek legal redress if the oil firm responsible for the spill failed to compensate the victims. He said that he had written to Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCO) on the impact of the spill on members of the organisation in Akwa Ibom.
