I commend the GOC and his officers for their great efforts so far. - Roseline Konya

Collaboration with relevant stakeholders, multi-national oil companies and security agencies is key in the fight against Soot in the State.

It has come to the notice of the state government of the sudden appearance of strange black soot deposit noticeably seen on cars and rooftops in our environment especially in Port Harcourt and its environs. The public is hereby advised not to panic as the Ministry of Environment has duly dispatched its officials to different locations in the state to monitor and locate the source of the black soot for prompt action.

Rural dwellers are the first to suffer from threats of ecosystems either by pollution, climate change or over-exploitation.
