MOSOP Applauds FG Over Removal Of HYPREP Boss

The umbrella body of the Ogoni people, Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), has commended the Federal Government for its decisive response to outcries and demands for the sacking of the erstwhile HYPREP Project Coordinator, Dr. Marvin Dekil.
MOSOP in a statement last Thursday alleged that the sacked HYPREP boss was a “huge liability and embarrassment not only to the agency but also to Ogoni people”.
The statement signed by the MOSOP Secretary General, Bari-ara Kpalap demanded that the Federal Government should investigate those in the system that collaborated with the former project coordinator to frustrate progress of the Ogoni environmental restoration exercise.
The group in the statement also demanded for a forensic probe of the commission if current reforms were to be effective.
According to the statement,” HYPREP stinks of corruption, nepotism and inefficiency, hence, the investigation would help to unravel the level of rot in the agency as well as instill discipline”.
“ It is saddening that for over four years of his management, emergency measures prioritised by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) remain unimplemented.
Alternative safe and clean drinking water, Integrated Contaminated Soil Management Centre and employment for artisanal refiners amongst others are undone to date and in the face of enormous, available revenue”.
The group regretted that the former Project Coordinator instead of concentrating on making his tenure impactful, he elevated self-importance and other vanities to Everest height.
The statement further accused the sacked boss of fuelling division in Ogoni especially in the apex socio-cultural organisations of the people to frustrate their cohesive check on the agency.
MOSOP urged the interim acting project coordinator not to imitate this abysmal and condemnable approach of his predecessor and warned against plans to truck water to some selected Ogoni communities.
MOSOP said the plan to truck water was unacceptable even if it is a temporary arrangement, adding that clean and safe drinking water is the only benefit of the project that would benefit Ogonis.
