Shell companies share certain common values, including a strong commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility. So, we take the situation in Nigeria very seriously.
We are concerned about violence and crime, particularly in the Niger Delta, resulting primarily from inter-ethnic conflict and poverty. However, Shell Nigeria will not use force nor seek armed intervention to suppress peaceful protests, even if oil production is disrupted. The Shell Group is committed to the reconciliation efforts, which is a slow and delicate process.
Shell Canada agrees with people from around the world who call for a peaceful resolution of the problems facing the people of the Niger Delta.
