Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria
Apparently reacting to the recent report by the United Nations Environmental Programme on the pollution of Ogoniland, which indicted Shell, SPDC Managing Director, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu, said “oil spills in the Niger-Delta are a tragedy,” adding, also, that the company “takes them very seriously”.
He said SPDC had always accepted responsibility for paying compensation when they occur as a result of operational failure.
Sunmonu, however, blamed the media for sensationalizing reports on oil pollution and also faulted the financial claims being speculated by lawyers to the Ogoni communities as possible compensation to be coughed out by Shell.
