Nigeria Ogoniland Oil Clean-Up 'Could Take 30 Years -- BBC
Nigeria's Ogoniland region could take 30 years to recover fully from the damage caused by years of oil spills, a long-awaited UN report says.
The study says complete restoration could entail the world's "most wide-ranging and long-term oil clean-up".
Communities faced a severe health risk, with some families drinking water with high levels of carcinogens, it said.
Oil giant Shell has accepted liability for two spills and said all oil spills were bad for Nigeria and the company.
