Akwa Ibom: Ibeno farmers lament over impact of oil spills on their crops


Farmers in Okoro-Utip, Ibeno Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State have decried the negative impact of oil spills on their crops as well as their aquatic animals.

The farmers raised the alarm on Tuesday during a community prospection meeting with Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) at the Community hall, Okoro-Utip.

They explained that they have been experiencing poor yield as a result of contact of the oil on the crops, noting that so many of them took loans from microfinance banks but got disappointed by the yield of their crops.
