Shortly after her swearing-in ceremony by the 10th Senate, Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Senator representing Kogi Central, urged the Red Chamber on Thursday to consider policies that would help protect host communities against environmental degradation.
Senator Osita sponsored a motion to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the dwindling revenue desirable from solid mineral development in the country.
While contributing to the motion, Senator Natasha called on the Senate to consider policies to curb environmental degradation, host communities involvement, and an advanced seismic report. “If we close our eyes and turn deaf ears to the cry of our communities, whereby we are only interested in extracting these resources , we would ignore the fact that some of these resources have hazardous effects on our environment and could cause pollution, thereby endangering the lives of our people, especially children. If we ignore this, we might probably, in the near future, have the same problem we are currently facing in the Niger Delta region, where the waters and lands are polluted.
