Interview with Dr. Patrick Wilmot, author and academic, London
The damage done from oil is so bad in the Niger Delta it has degraded agriculture fisheries and drinking water and may take 30 years or more to clean up.
SHELL has accepted responsibility for two oil spills while others remain silent in what amounts to past government's conspiracy and fifty years of criminal neglect of oil containment in the Niger Delta.
The cost of the cleanup for the first five years has been estimated at one billion dollars. A UN environmental report on the situation was allowed to be funded by oil giant Shell, which has accepted liability. But has Shell tried to buy its way out of justice?
