Also, a statement issued in Abuja by the Head/ Deputy Director, Public Affairs Unit in Abuja, Idabor, blasted Shell for not making any effort in providing relief materials for the shoreline fishing communities with respect to the acute and chronic impact of the crude oil on the environment.
NOSDRA directed Shell to pay the said fine and compensation or face the legal machinery available to the Agency to ensure its compliance
