Shell says to start cleaning up 2008 Nigeria oil spills in April

The head of a group helping organize Royal Dutch Shell’s (RDS.A, RDS.B) clean-up of 2008 oil spills at a Nigerian Delta community says he hopes work can begin next month.

Shell agreed in 2015 on a £55M ($68.6M) settlement with the Bodo community after accepting liability for two pipeline leaks, but it says members of the community denied it access in August 2015 when clean-up work was set to begin.

A WSJ report yesterday said the Shell spills had contributed to “astonishingly high” pollution levels in the area, citing a consultant who helped produce a confidential damage assessment.
