Monday, March 19, 2018

Amnesty International has accused ENI and Shell of negligence when addressing crude spills in Nigeria. According to Amnesty International described the firms’ actions as “serious negligence”.

The watch dog said that the companies were “taking weeks to respond to reports of spills and publishing misleading information about the cause and severity of spills, which may result in communities not receiving compensation.”

A Shell spokesman said Amnesty’s allegations “are false, without merit and fail to recognize the complex environment in which the company operates.”
