A non-governmental organization, Connected Development (CODE) is now in talks with the major stakeholders in the Nigerian extractive sectors with the motives of ensuring grassroot governance for settlers of oil reserve rural communities as well as advocating an urgent passage of Petroleum Industry Governance Bill for harnessed oil riches in the country.<\/p>\n

During her advocacy trip to Lagos over the weekend, CODE engaged both the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, and National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, seeking that Nigerians who have become vulnerable in spite of oil spillage are duly compensated.<\/p>\n
