Italian firm misleads shareholders on gas flaring in Nigeria

Italian oil major, ENI, is misleading shareholders over the company's commitment to end gas flaring in Nigeria, according to a new report by an international delegation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

The report, released following a recent fact finding mission to the Niger Delta, and titled ‘The reality behind EU ‘energy security;' examines the environmental and social devastation caused by European oil multinationals ENI, Total and Shell in Nigeria.
