1billion dollars used for ogoni clean up bbc news

I think you may be referring to the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) agreeing to pay $1 billion to clean up oil spills in the Ogoni region of Nigeria.

In 2015, the Nigerian government and Shell reached a landmark agreement, under which Shell agreed to pay $1 billion to clean up oil spills in the Ogoni region. The agreement was seen as a major step towards addressing the environmental and health impacts of oil pollution in the region.

The Ogoni region has been heavily affected by oil pollution, with widespread contamination of soil, water, and air. The pollution has had devastating effects on the environment, health, and livelihoods of the Ogoni people.

The $1 billion payment is intended to fund a comprehensive clean-up program, which will involve the removal of oil from contaminated sites, restoration of damaged ecosystems, and provision of healthcare and other services to affected communities.

The agreement was hailed as a major victory for the Ogoni people and environmental activists, who have been campaigning for years to hold Shell accountable for its environmental and human rights abuses in the region.

Here's a BBC News article from 2015 that reports on the agreement:

The deal is seen as a major step towards addressing the environmental and health impacts of oil pollution in the region.

The Ogoni region has been heavily affected by oil pollution, with widespread contamination of soil, water, and air.

The Nigerian government and Shell have been in talks for years over the clean-up of the region, which has been plagued by oil spills and pollution from Shell's operations.

The $1bn payment is intended to fund a comprehensive clean-up program, which will involve the removal of oil from contaminated sites, restoration of damaged ecosystems, and provision of healthcare and other services to affected communities.

The agreement was welcomed by environmental activists and local communities, who have been campaigning for years to hold Shell accountable for its environmental and human rights abuses in the region.

"This is a major victory for the Ogoni people and for the environment," said Nnimmo Bassey, a Nigerian environmental activist. "We hope that this agreement will mark the beginning of a new era of cooperation and transparency between Shell and the Nigerian government."

The clean-up program is expected to take several years to complete, and will involve the removal of oil from contaminated sites, restoration of damaged ecosystems, and provision of healthcare and other services to affected communities.

The agreement is seen as a major step towards addressing the environmental and health impacts of oil pollution in the region, and is expected to have a significant impact on the lives of thousands of people in the Ogoni region."
