The Senate says that Nigeria has the highest number of oil spill inc
idences among oil producing countries with no penalty regime attached to such oil spills.
Declaring open a public hearing on National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, amendment bill 2012 in Abuja by Senate joint committee on environment and ecology, Chairman of the committee, Senator Bukola Saraki, said oil spill has become an irresponsible environmental behaviour and reckless waste of the people’s wealth and benefit, adding that it was high time multinational oil companies in the country stopped oil spills.
Senator Saraki adds that the move has become imperative against the backdrop of its devastating effect on the environment and livelihoods of the people.
