A coalition of over 28 civil society organizations from the Niger Delta has backed the Nigerian Senate's call for an investigation into the controversial rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refinery, which took place during the tenure of former GMD Kyari.

The former Managing Director of Port Harcourt Refinery, Dikko, has been arraigned by the EFCC on charges of N1.3 billion fraud and money laundering, and subsequently granted N150 million bail.

Women from the Alesa community staged a nude protest at the Port Harcourt refinery, demanding inclusion in negotiations regarding an MoU between NNPCL and a Chinese firm.
