In a recent protest, women from the Odidi community in Delta State, Nigeria, expressed their anger towards Heritage Energy for not addressing a crude oil spill that has affected their area for six months. They gathered outside the company's office, holding signs that highlighted the negative impact of the spill on their fishing, farming, and overall livelihood. The women reported that the pollution has made it unsafe to cook with firewood due to fears of fire outbreaks from the oil, and many families are suffering from health issues and hunger. They are demanding immediate action to stop the pollution, clean up the environment, and provide support to the affected residents. Heritage Energy's Community Relations Manager acknowledged the protest and promised to look into the issues raised by the women, stating that the company is willing to take the necessary actions. The protesters vowed to continue their demonstrations until they see real changes.
