HYPREP Embarks On Healthcare Service In Ogoniland
The coordinating office of the Hydro Carbon Remedial and Restoration Project (HYPREP) will commence the second phase of health care services to pollution impacted communities in Ogoniland.
Speaking to newsmen in Port Harcourt, the Project Coordinator, Dr Marvin Deki said the healthcare service was slated for Khana Local Government Area on Saturday April 14 in Bori and Taaba, Gokana Local Government Area at Tereba on 20th and 21st April while that of Eleme Local Government Area will take place at Onne and Ogale on Saturday 23rd April.
Deki said the health care service rendered in Ogoniland would help the HYPREP obtain the initial data for health impact survey.
He stated the commitment of the body to the remediation of impacted sites and restoration of impacted sites and restoration of livelihood of the people as enshrined in the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) report 2011. The coordinator said the remedial activities were significant of the scientific process preparatory to the actual clean up and explained that the process had nothing to do with politics, payment of compensation and sharing of money.
There is so much preparation before you hit the ground. We need to know the soil, the nature of the geology of the site, the nature of contaminant and the chemical nature of each of the contaminants in the soil. It is only after we know these things that we come up with the best technology to get rid of them.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
