Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), operator of the joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and CNL, has denied claim of an oil spill from its offshore platform in Ondo state.

In a statement signed by its General Manager, Policy Government and Public Affairs, Olusoga Oduselu, on Wednesday, Chevron said it was aware of media reports alleging an ongoing spill in CNL’s Berth Offshore Platform (BOP).

The reports claimed that the spill impacted communities in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State in CNL’s western operations area.

But Oduselu, in the statement stated that the allegation of “oil spill in CNL’s BOP in Ondo State is not true”.

The statement however reiterated Chevron’s commitment to environmental protection in its areas of operations.

According to the statement, “CNL remains committed to protecting people and the environment and to conducting its operations reliably and efficiently in compliance with regulatory requirements and consideration for the environment.

“CNL is committed to the socio-economic development and empowerment of communities neighbouring its areas of operations”, the statement added.
