Shell in Nigeria
Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, Platform and the Stakeholder Democracy Network produced this briefing which details shared concerns for Shell's investors and oil and gas producing-communities in Nigeria.
"Shell Nigeria's role in the reserves crisis has highlighted failures in transparency in the company overall, that go deeper and broader, exposing Shell's investors and all of its stakeholder to increased risk" commented" Andrew Pendleton, senior policy advisor to Christian Aid.
The report analyses leaked documents commissioned by Shell, arguing that unless the oil company significantly changes direction in Nigeria - onshore operations may not be possible beyond 2008, if Shell is committed to remain within its Business Principles. This may end in a chaotic withdrawal that would be damaging and costly for all. Nigeria represents about 10% of Shell's overall business.
