9:11Now PlayingThe Senate Committee on Environment met with representatives of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration (HYPREP) Project on July 31 to resolve the issues around their unpaid salaries, promising to appeal to the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Allison-Madueke to pay them.
Over 18 months salaries and allowances of the 140 members of staff of the HYPREP are still pending.
President Goodluck Jonathan, in 2012, approved the setting up of HYPREP to implement the United Nations Environmental Programme assessment report on the spill disaster in Ogoniland, 12 months after the World body presented a scientific assessment of the 50 years of oil pollution in Ogoniland to the Federal Government.
However, a section of the members of HYPREP staff met with the Senate Committee on the Environment, asking the lawmakers to intervene in their matter because all appeals made in writing to the project's supervising ministry to pay their 18 months salaries had been ignored.
