HYPREP’s technical personnel take borehole water samples.
In June 2019, UN Environment organized a technical training to build the technical capacity of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and its technical personnel. From 11 to 21 June 2019, 21 members of HYPREP’s technical personnel received training on the management and assessment of contaminated land. The training included twelve theory modules followed by two days of field-based exercises and site visits to a soil treatment plant and a remediation site.
In 2018, the United Nations Environment Programme began a project to assist HYPREP to manage the clean-up of oil contamination in Ogoniland. Designed in response to a request from the Government, this project comes as an integral part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s continuing support to the Government of Nigeria to clean up the environmental contamination in Nigeria and achieve lasting peace in the region.
