This is contained in a statement issued by SPDC Media Relations Manager, Mrs Abimbola Essien-Nelson.
Mr Osagie Okunbor, the SPDC Country Chairman, was represented by SPDC Corporate Lands Manager, Mr Trevor Akpomughe in Ahoada, Rivers, to distribute food and non-food relief materials and medical supplies to impacted communities and people housed in the camps for internally displaced people.
“Shell is providing these relief materials because we do not want you to go through this sad experience alone as government and concerned institutions continue to work to make life go back to normal.
“This must be a most horrifying period for you, not being able to go about your normal lives and being exposed to all manners of health and livelihood challenges,” Okunbor was quoted as saying.
He urged the affected people to utilise the services of SPDC medical outreach.
“This flood disaster affects many communities across Nigeria.
“For us, at Shell, we are providing support to people who are in communities where we have Shell operations and in IDP camps. You are our immediate neighbours and, as we have always shown, what affects you, affects us.
“So, these relief materials and medical outreach programme that we are providing to you, we are also providing them to other affected communities in Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Imo States.” NAN
