Nigeria’s oil development threatens water resources for local communities

Nigeria’s Niger Delta region is a fertile business environment where multinational oil companies make millions of dollars yearly. But very little of the region’s wealth is directed to local communities where basic needs like water are in scarce supply. For many, rivers are the only sources of drinking water. Now there is a growing health risk because multinational oil companies in the region are making the rivers increasingly unsafe for communities that depend on them.
