Eight months after the release of the popular UNEP report, nothing has been done to effect the recommendations outlined in the report. Ogoni Communities still consume water with high level of benzene, of about 900 times above World Health Organisation (WHO) acceptable levels, hence the likelihood of cancer for consumers of such water, are yet to get adequate aids to ameliorate their situations.

As part of the immediate recommendations to savage the people from continued contacts with the dangerously contaminated water, the report recommended that alternative sources of water supply should be provided by the government and the oil multinational Shell. As a form of response the Rivers State government through the Ministry of Water resources embarked on supply of water to Eleme local government area.

Unfortunately, water was only provided for Ogale and Ebubu communities, out of the eleven villages that make up Eleme, Nsisioken community in the area. Other Ogoni communities such as Bodo, Goi, Nwakara and Korokoro are yet to benefit from the clean water supply by the Government and Shell. As such, communities have been forced to consume benzene polluted water.
