The Shell Petroleum Development Company on Wednesday said it began engaging youths in its host communities to reduce attacks on oil and gas facilities.
Sam Ezugwuorie, the Asset Manager, Land East Hub, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on the sidelines of a summit organised by SPDC-JV for 120 youths.
He said that SPDC was concerned by current activities of vandals on its pipelines and wellheads, adding that these often led to oil spillage which pollutes the environment.
Ezugwuorie said: “The summit aims to enlighten our youths to embrace positive environmental management culture, attitude and lifestyle because the environment is our primary area of habitat.
