Yes, it's true that a lot of focus has been on the northeast and northwest because of Boko Haram, but the environmental rights violations by the big oil companies continue to go on, particularly in the Niger delta region of Nigeria. You have entire communities still dealing with issues of oil spillage, and the companies are not taking responsibility.
There have also been fewer media reports about the activities of the armed groups working in the creeks. Sometimes, the companies try to project that they're arming the groups to protect their facilities. You also have the Nigerian government adopting such an approach by paying one of the notorious commanders in the creeks. These are non-state actors who protect the oil facilities. It is a strategy that has created a problem. If the government can do it, the companies can argue, “Why can't we also adopt the same strategy?”
Of course, these issues are affecting those in the communities and their livelihoods. It's going on. It's been downplayed because of the various issues with Boko Haram in the north. It's still going on in the Niger delta. It's still a very big issue that needs attention.
