Bassey made the call, during a one day capacity building organized for communities in Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The capacity building was organized to provide solutions to the persistent environmental pollution caused by the oil and petrochemical companies Operating Within The Area.
Bassey said it is a big embarrassment on the part of the government for lacking concern for a pollution free environment.
Today FM’s Olawale Sanusi reports that some of the participant who relayed their experiences during the capacity building workshop complained that the presence of the oil companies around the area has caused different health complications in their lives and has as well, endangered aquatic life in the area.
