My deepest condolences to his immediate family, Katsina State and all Nigerians who mourn the passing of our former President, and a former boss, President Mohammadu Buhari. May Allah grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
Dr. Marvin Dekil
Project Coordinator HYPREP (2017-2021)
His legacy, marked by a focus on accountability and environmental rehabilitation, the implementation of UNEP report on Ogoniland, will undoubtedly be remembered as part of Nigeria's journey towards a sustainable and equitable future.
In commendation of these efforts, it is essential to recognize Buhari's influence in shaping policies that aimed to benefit both the economy and the communities within the Niger Delta.
The Ogoniland cleanup project not only sought to address the environmental degradation caused by decades of oil spills but also aimed to restore the dignity and health of the affected communities. This project was a testament to Buhari's dedication to environmental justice
was instrumental in redirecting funds towards critical infrastructure and social services.
Buhari's commitment to the Niger Delta region was evident through various initiatives aimed at promoting peace, security, and sustainable development.
Under his leadership, the removal of the oil subsidy was a bold move aimed at fostering economic sustainability and efficiency in the oil sector. This decision, though initially controversial
As his first appointee as Project Coordinator for the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP), the focus on the Ogoniland cleanup became a hallmark of Buhari's environmental legacy.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
@FirstBankngr I did an international transfer to the UK from domiciliary account from Abuja main branch, and for over 2 months now, you have not remitted to the UK account or made refunds. There appear to be a fraud going on here. I need a refund urgently. The branch Manager is aware of this
Pls, watch this video of how Saudi Arabia monitors and protects both its oil fields & pipelines from bunkering.
Dearest, I no go lie you, I prefer this for our country 🇳🇬 rather than paying N4billion to Tompolo (a fugitive) for such a sensitive task. Isn't this achievable?
We @UNEP have long waited for the #healthyenvironmentforall right to be recognized. No one can take nature, clean air & water, or a stable climate away – at least not without a fight. Huge thanks to all who made it happen, incl friends @UN_HRC, @SREnvironment & @SRclimatechange
Speaking with @NTANewsNow on the implementation of UN Climate Change policy and expansion of remediation of oil pollution to other impacted areas of the Niger Delta region
Time is running out to protect the world’s most vulnerable people, who have contributed least to the #ClimateCrisis but are hit the hardest.
We must work together to fight climate change while protecting the most vulnerable against its increasingly severe impacts.
