In Ogoniland, Rivers State, a coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has set forth a series of demands that the Nigerian Federal Government must fulfill before oil exploration can recommence. Key among these demands are the acceptance of the Ogoni Bill of Rights and the full implementation of the United Nations Environmental Programme's report concerning oil pollution in the area. The CSOs highlight the importance of these conditions in addressing the historical grievances of the Ogoni people and the environmental ramifications of past oil extraction activities.

The demands were presented during a community-led workshop and a solidarity peace walk named ‘Project Ogonize’ in Port Harcourt, organized by Tech4Rural in collaboration with the Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre. This event aimed to raise awareness and support for environmental justice in Ogoniland, emphasizing the need for the government to engage with local communities before moving forward with oil production. The participation of various stakeholders underscores the local commitment to ensuring that past injustices are not repeated and that the environmental concerns of Ogoniland residents are adequately addressed.

The coalition also called for the exoneration of the late environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others wrongly accused and executed for their part in the Ogoni crisis, which began due to conflicts with multinational oil corporations. The ongoing advocacy highlights the continuing struggle of the Ogoni people for justice, recognition, and the right to a clean environment, signaling that any new oil activities will face intense scrutiny and possibly resistance if these conditions are not met.
