…Recommends Ogoni development plan, seeks stronger HYPREP By Daniel Abia P/HARCOURT — The leadership of KAGOTE, the apex socio-cultural organisation of the Ogoni people, has said any memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Federal Government and the Ogoni people on the resumption of oil exploration must be comprehensive, credible, enforceable and beneficial to the people.
The organisation said the agreement must enjoy the confidence and support of the Ogoni people and remain beneficial to generations yet unborn.
KAGOTE stated this on Tuesday during this year’s remembrance of the Ogoni Nine in Port Harcourt. In his address at the event, the President of KAGOTE, Chief Lesi Maol, said the proposed agreement should be a historic document that future generations would read with pride and gratitude. He said it should have the enduring significance of the Ogoni Bill of Rights and reflect the wisdom and commitment of those negotiating on behalf of the people. Maol said: “We should aspire to produce an agreement whose significance and enduring value can stand alongside the Ogoni Bill of Rights as another defining milestone in our history.
