President Tinubu hails re-entry into Ogoniland for oil exploration

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu says that the re-entry into Ogoniland for oil exploration activities marks a historic turning point for the country.

Speaking during the presentation of the Ogoni Consultations Report at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu said that the milestone reflected the spirit of the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which commits to building a stronger country, attracting responsible investment and ensuring that community development is at the heart of national progress.

While acknowledging that the Ogoni people have endured long years of pain, and that this re-entry reflects the government’s recognition of their sacrifices, he said: “We are not, as a government, taking lightly the years of pain endured in Ogoniland. We recognise that, otherwise we would not be here today…We declare with conviction that hope is here and is back with us.”

In his speech at the event, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd,. Mr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, described the reentry into Ogoniland as the re-affirmation of the company’s unwavering commitment to the Ogoni re-entry plan and a bold step towards justice, healing, and national prosperity.

He emphasized that the re-entry demonstrates that Nigeria can confront its past, honour the sacrifices of its communities and forge a new path with a vision of prosperity and justice for all.

“The re-entry into Ogoniland is not just about oil and gas. It is about justice, healing, and charting a new future for our nation,” Ojulari said.

Ojulari acknowledged the pivotal leadership of the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, in convening a committee that brought diverse stakeholders together, creating the platform for dialogue and consensus that made this breakthrough possible.

He also praised the work of Professor Don Baridam and members of the Presidential Committee, who engaged tirelessly and transparently with all relevant parties to produce a report that tells a story of fairness and inclusivity that will ultimately bring closure and renew hope for the Ogoni people and all Nigerians.

“The lesson is that this journey cannot be driven solely by producing volumes. It must be anchored on justice, equity, sustainability, and most importantly, collaboration with the very people whose land bears this wealth,” he added.

In his remarks, the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, echoed the general sentiments that sustainable progress is possible and proven through collaboration with all parties concerned.

He said the report was the outcome of an intensive, methodical, and transparent engagement, while Professor Baridam, on behalf of the Committee, thanked the President for his unwavering commitment to the well-being of the Ogoni people, stressing that through diplomacy and relentless insistence on dialogue, host community trust was earned, and hope restored.

According to him, the re-entry signals that progress is being redefined as a partnership between government, industry, and the people.

Oil exploration and production activities were suspended for decades in Ogoniland, following protests against environmental degradation and pollution in the area which led to the execution of nine Ogoni leaders after the military tribunal set up by late military Head of State of Nigeria, General Sani Abacha,, came up with a death verdict against them
