 Trump administration halts border wall well drilling in New Mexico after ranchers raise water concerns  The Trump administration has ordered contractors building a border wall in New Mexico to stop drilling new wells after ranchers raised concerns that groundwater pumping for construction could worsen drought conditions and threaten their livestock. The move comes as crews work to expand border barriers across four states as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. The project has received billions in federal funding and has faced criticism from residents, environmental groups and local officials over various impacts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which oversees construction, has said water is needed for concrete production, road construction and controlling dust. However, ranchers in southern New Mexico say water supplies are already under strain due to ongoing drought, forcing some to reduce their cattle herds.

PANIC AS ANOTHER OIL SPILL OCCURS IN OGONILAND.(PHOTO) .





 Panic as another oil spill occurs in Ogoniland


12 February 2023 


A new oil spill has occurred in Ebubu Community in Eleme Local Council of Rivers State. Some eyewitnesses and community-based sources disclosed that the spill occurred on Friday night, February 10, with the spill point yet to be clamped as of the time this report was filed.


According to community sources, the spill is suspected to have been caused by equipment failure.


The Executive Director of Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre, Fyneface Dumnamene Fyneface, in a statement, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, recalled that the affected Ebubu Community was in court with Shell Petroleum Development Company for about 32 years till 2021 when the company was compelled by the court to pay $111m (about N45.9b) in compensation over an oil spill that occurred on the same Shell’s facility in the late 1960s during the Nigeria civil war that lasted between 1967-1970. 


Fyneface said that some members of the community leadership alerted the centre of the spill, which was confirmed to be true. He said: “There is a need to address environmental concerns, seek ecological and environmental justice as well as campaign against environmental pollution.”


He claimed that a team from Shell was at the scene of the spillage to put out the fire before the next steps would be taken to clamp the spill point.


An effort to reach Shell’s spokesman, Michael Adande, was not successful, as his phone lines failed to connect.
