The group in a meeting held in Port Harcourt, said that HYPREP should provide laboratory evidence of the completion of seventy percent of the sites currently being remediated.
Speaking at the meeting, the Executive Director of CISLAC, Auwal Rafsanjani, alleged that some allocated sites for the cleanup process have been abandoned by contractors and workers since September 2019, due to lack of funding by the HYPREP.
Rafsanjani accused HYPREP of denying stakeholders access to data tools used to evaluate the level of progress of the cleanup process, and has gone ahead to score itself.
He also accused the HYPREP of micromanaging the funds allocated for the cleanup process, as he also called on the River State government to pay attention and show interest in the cleanup exercise.
When contacted, an official of HYPREP said the agency will continue to follow due process and endeavour to micromanage funds for only the purpose of the Ogoni Clean-up exercise.
Our correspondent, Ifunanya Obeme-Ndukwe reports that various CSOs interested in the cleanup of Ogoniland, were present at the meeting.
