This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the second Niger Delta Alternatives Convergence, which was held in Port Harcourt, with the theme: ‘Looking Back and Thinking Forward: Imperatives of a New Niger Delta Agenda.’

The communique was signed by the Executive Director of Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF), Rev. Nnimmo Bassey and Executive Director of We The People, Ken Henshaw.

The communique demanded for the decommissioning of decrepit facilities, remediation of impacted places, restoration of the human and ecological damages causes by extraction activities, and reparations for the irreversible and extensive damages caused by oil extraction.

It reads in part: “That the Niger Delta must move beyond talks and immediately take action, including nonviolent direct action, as well as utilizing all available legal instruments to demand justice.

“That the federal government immediately produces a framework and guide for how oil companies disengage from areas where they have operated.

“The government must compel divesting IOCs to fulfill all outstanding Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) and Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoUs) obligations to communities and their environment before handing over assets to DOCs.
