An environmentalist, Nnimmo Bassey, says the government has to show leadership by creating jobs for the teeming youths in the Niger Delta, in order to address the soot plaguing the region.

Mr Bassey who is the Director, Health of Mother Earth Foundation, said this on Nigeria Info’s Morning Crossfire.


He also noted that if modular refineries should be considered, they should be fabricated locally by Nigerian research institutions and not imported, so those engaging in illegal refining of crude oil can afford them.
