However, it is important to emphasise that neither SPDC nor any other stakeholder is in a position to implement the entirety of UNEP\u2019s recommendations unilaterally. As the UNEP report stated: \u201cTreating the problem of environmental contamination within Ogoniland merely as a technical clean-up exercise would ultimately lead to failure. Ensuring long-term sustainability is a much bigger challenge \u2013 one that will require coordinated and collaborative action from all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SPDC has an activity programme in place, focused on delivering improvements in the environmental and community health situation on the ground. We continue to work with the government, communities and a number of constructive NGOs and civil society groups in the Niger Delta to accelerate progress.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>More information on SPDC\u2019s response to the UNEP report can be found on our website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shell.com.ng\/environment-society\/our-response.html\">http:\/\/www.shell.com.ng\/environment-society\/our-response.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Signed:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Precious Okolobo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Relations Manager<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press statement 04 august 2014 Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC)\u2019s actionS on unep report Three years on from the UNEP report\u2019s publication, the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pointblanknews-investigations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
