Presidency Abandons Victims/Communities of Chevron Gas Disaster, sides Oil Multinational

On January 16, 2012, the entire shoreline communities of Bayelsa State, the home state of the President of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan was hit by a gas fire disaster and oil spillage from a Chevron owned rig. Two lives were lost and immeasurable damage was recorded as a forty six [46] day gas fire ensued and spewed crude oil and gas. President Goodluck Jonathan visited the affected community 42 days after the gas explosion.

“I noticed that many issues have been raised and these are issues we are quite conversant with. I can assure you that we will look into it, the company, the state government and the federal government will continue to address them,” – stated President Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan on February 27, 2012 to the angry youths of the affected communities who welcomed him with war songs – waving the national Ijaw flag.

Information available to 247ureports.com through an inside source within the presidency, indicates that the President has shown little indication of fulfilling on his promise to the community beyond ‘relief’ material disbursed by Chevron to the community – materials such as rice, garri, yam, cow, groundnut oil, frozen fish, chicken, beverages, tin tomatoes, salt and sugar – of which the traditional ruler of Koluama1 said were not enough, adding that Chevron only acted because of pressure from the State government. “We want to see the federal government”, the monarch said.

The source indicated that the affected community had anticipated the President would weigh on the oil-multinationals into addressing the disastrous impact of the gas fire – and proffering a remedy – along with associated compensation.

According to the source who also is an indigene of the Niger Delta community, the activists and leadership of the area had long been ‘pocketed’ by the oil multinationals – to the extent – most have lost the ability to muster civil agitation for the rights of the host communities. “Even the elected officials in the likes of the governors and Abuja elected politician are all in their pockets in exchange for campaign funds.”

Cursory inquiry into the affected communities reveals the unspoken. Anger within the affected community appears brewing silently over the perception that the Federal government and the President have turned their backs on them and may have joined the oil multinational against them. This comes against the action by the heads of each affected community in drafting four letters to Chevron [dated April 12, 2012, May 2, 2012, May 15, 2012, and July 25, 2012] detailing demands for immediate payment of compensation for damages suffered by them as a result of gas explosion, oil spill and fire at K. S. Endeavor rig between 16^th January 2012 and March 2, 2012.

Specifically, the community leaders jointly made the following demands:

1. Clean up of the entire waterways, creeks and rivers adjoining communities in an environmentally friendly way to free it of any trace of crude oil;
2. A full and comprehensive disclosure of all the facts and circumstances of this spill including the cause, the number of barrels of crude oil spilled, the volume of gas released into the atmosphere and the condition of the gas well among others.
3. The payment of the sum of N2billion to each community for the untold damages suffered.
4. The payment of the sum of N1billion to each of the community for inconveniences, injurious affection and loss of income.
5. Because of the urgency of this matter, we also demand that our demands be met within 7 days of their receipt of our letter.

Chevron has yet to respond to the letter. But the Managing Director of Chevron, Deji Haastrop in a June 28, 2012 statement to the press mentioned that an independent panel will be set up and charged with the assessment of the damage to the community. The independent committee is to comprise of – NNPC, Chevron, Bayelsa State government, DPR, NOSDRA, NGOs and Regional Development Communities. The finding of the panel has yet to be made public. It is uncertain the extent the panel investigated the damage.

In what appears to resemble a flicker of hope, a source within the Bayelsa State government house in Yenogua reveals the Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment had recently requested from the affected communities, a list of damages and demands. The source who stated that the list had been submitted and received by the Ministry also added that the State government of Bayelsa appears apprehensive to act – largely because of Mr. President. “This is Mr. President’s home state, we have to follow his lead” said the source.

“We are waiting on Mr. President and the folks at Chevron”, clarified the source who pointed the blame for the delay squarely that the presidency. He adds that the managers at Chevron “understand the body language of the presidency”. The source pointed out the huge volumes of crude oil produced by the oil company as one of the reasons the presidency may be dragging its feet.   In 2010, Chevron pumped an average 524,000 barrels per day of crude from the said community – equivalent to $19.2billion [N3trillion]. In addition, Chevron has the exclusive exploration rights over 2.2million acres of Niger Delta land and waters.

A February 17, 2012 editorial by Punch Newspapers captured the presidency’s attitude towards the gas disaster as follows:

“That the current disaster at the Chevron gas facility has failed to draw serious attention of The Presidency and National Assembly as well as relevant agencies like the Federal Ministry of Environment, is not altogether surprising. The age-old nonchalance about the environment and well-being of citizens is simply being replayed. If anything, the government is getting even further removed from the populace and the symptoms of a failed state are becoming more pronounced. In 1980, President Shehu Shagari was at Funiwa for first-hand information about the oil spill and to show sympathy and support for the local people. Not so with President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 whose recent visit to campaign for and vote in the Bayelsa State governorship election did not include a visit to the affected communities.”

Historically, the Niger Delta regions has suffered an overwhelming crude oil related disaster in the hands of oil multinationals in cohorts with weak and/or corrupt Nigerian Presidents.   In 1978, Gulf Oil Company of Nigeria caused the Escravos spill in which 300,000 barrels of crude were emptied into the environment. In the same year, the Forcados Terminal Tank Farm, owned and operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company, spilled 580,000 barrels. In 1980, there was the Funiwa oil blow-out in which a facility owned and operated by Texaco Overseas spilled 400,000 barrels.
