Wike also revealed that his government requested for inclusion in the implementation of the UNEP Report because the state was interested in a safe environment for the Ogoni people.
He noted that it was necessary for the Federal Government to spell out the extent to which the Rivers State Government will be involved and the nature of its involvement.
He said: “We are interested in supporting the Federal Government to achieve the clean up of Ogoni land. That is why we seek that the state be carried along.
“By requesting that we be carried along, we are not asking for contracts. We are only seeking to be involved in the process through information .
“Because we are committed to Ogoni land being cleaned up, that is why we are clamouring to be involved “.
