The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) has described as deceptive the claims by oil resumption merchants that oil production in Ogoni will create jobs.
MOSOP said contrary to the claims, the resumption of oil production in Ogoni will only further enrich the 37 states of the country and do nothing to uplift the lives of the Ogoni people.
The body also said the false narrative about job creation through the resumption of oil production in Ogoni is an unfortunate divide and conquer strategy and a setback for the commitments of MOSOP to see to a permanent resolution of the Ogoni problem.
Answering questions on the prospects of resuming oil production in Ogoni, president of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke, urged all parties, especially the oil industry, to be honest and truthful about the situation in Ogoni, approach the Ogoni situation realistically and avoid deception and propaganda in order to achieve a permanent resolution.
