The Senate has directed the Shell Petroleum Development Company to respect its earlier resolution, which mandated it to pay N6,936,899,900 to some oil-producing communities in the Niger Delta region.
Bekele Jones and Associates, a firm in the riverine area, had sent a petition to the upper chamber to complain about the non-payment of the accumulated rentals and expired leases. The letter, dated March 4, 2019, and signed by Alhaji Mohammed Sani-Omolori, the Clerk to the National Assembly, was addressed separately to Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of Nigeria, and Managing Director, SPDC.
The upper chamber also directed the multinational company to"cancel all long term leases of 99 years already imposed on the landowners and comply with the provisions of the Oil Pipeline Act which stipulates a term of 20 years only".

Failure to follow the relevant laws, policies and regulations is fatal to the legality of the OPL 245 award (Zebra Energy Ltd V FGN (2002)). It is my considered view that the licence award on the basis of a FGN Resolution Agreement is anomalous and unprecedented in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Sector.”
