Amnesty International: Petroleum, pollution and poverty in the Niger Delta
This report is based on fieldwork carried out in the Niger Delta in March and April 2008, as well as desk research and follow-up research from London between May 2008 and May 2009 by a multi-disciplinary research team, including experts in the oil industry and environment.
Amnesty International research teams visited eight sites in Rivers and Bayelsa States, and interviewed members of the communities affected by oil pollution and by the human rights violations associated with pollution.
The research team met with and interviewed representatives of a number of civil society organizations in the Niger Delta, as well as academics at Rivers State University of Science and Technology. Researchers also conducted interviews with members of the Federal
Government of Nigeria and representatives of the government of Rivers State, as well as presenting preliminary findings in writing to the Federal Government. Representatives of the
organization held meetings with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, on 1 April 2008, as well as with Shell at its headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands, on 15 September 2008. Representatives of Amnesty International also interviewed representatives of ENI in Milan on 7 January 2009 and Total in Paris on 20 February 2009.
