Opuama and Polobubo Communities Back ESG Progress in OML40, Reject NGO Claims By EgbemaVoice, Opuama and Polobubo (Tsekelewu) communities in Warri North, Delta State, have reaffirmed their support for ongoing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives in OML40 while distancing themselves from recent environmental claims made by an unnamed NGO.
