Abuja – An elders statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, and some delegates at the ongoing National Conference have called for a pragmatic approach to tackle environmental challenges in the country.
The delegates made their positions known on Monday in Abuja while commenting on the report of the Conference Committee on Environment.
They underscored the urgent need for the development of the environment and the payment of compensation to communities that had suffered environmental pollution over the years.
Clark called for the cleaning of those areas, particularly communities in the Niger Delta region which had been polluted due to exploration activities.
