President Tinubu Honors Ogoni Martyrs

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to fostering dialogue, reconciliation, and healing among all ethnic nationalities that make up our great nation.


In a special message commemorating the 2024 Ogoni Martyrs Remembrance Day, President Tinubu stands in solidarity with the National Youth Council of Ogoni People (NYCOP) and all Ogoni citizens to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of the Ogoni nation’s interests.

This year’s commemoration, themed “After Price, Comes Prise,” reflects our collective commitment to acknowledging the pain and the lessons of the past as we aspire for a brighter future.

"We honour their memory by recognising the sacrifices made and pledging to strive for a future characterised by peace, justice, and sustainable development for all communities, particularly those in the Niger Delta," said President Tinubu.
The President reaffirmed that his administration will actively address historical grievances and work towards building a united and prosperous nation for future generations. This vision will be realised through constructive engagement and mutual respect.

Oil was first commercially discvered in Oloibiri, Ogoniland, in 1958. The subsequent struggles of Ogoni leaders to protect their environment from harmful oil exploration were met with severe repression, culminating in the tragic execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders in 1995.

“As we remember the Ogoni Martyrs, let us honour their legacy by committing to a future where such injustices are no longer tolerated and where the voices of all Nigerians are heard and respected”, President Tinubu said.

  3. The ogoni land has played a major role enriching our economy in terms of production of crude oil... for a very long time, under Goodluck J there was "operation clean ogoni land" and that was a smart move to compensate these people


    I believe this administration will acknowledge them too.

  4. The second but last paragraph though. Is he acknowledging that the government did wrong in 1995.

    May God rest their souls and all the souls faithful departed.

  5. That was a great πŸ‘ move by Mr President. The govt should clean up ogoniland and give them what they truly deserve. It is long overdue.
