The Director General/Chief Executive of NOSDRA, Engr Chukwuemeka Woke who stated this in Abuja said the agency was monitoring the situation to ensure that appropriate response actions were deployed accordingly.

Woke stated that the agency will provide further details as events unfold, saying it had met convened and held a Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) to the incident area last week.

According to him, it was observed that the cause of the spill was unknown because the suspected leak point/pipeline is submerged in the water implying that the JIV is inconclusive.

The NOSDRA boss said SPDC was preparing a coffer dam to enable the team get access to the spill point, containment of the spill area had been completed and temporary storage tanks were in transit to the spill location while recovery of free phase oil was to commence on Friday.
