Major oil and gas corporations in Nzemaland are under fire from angry young people who claim they are disobeying rigorous safety regulations.
The young people claim that the emissions from helicopters alone have become dangerous to human life and are hurting aquatic life and flora.
They assert that despite the nation's well-known position in international climate work groups, oil and gas corporations, particularly Ghana National Gas Company Limited, Tullow Oil Plc, and Jubilee Partners, have disregarded healthy safety standards.
Dr. Patrick Ekye Kwesie, the leader of the Western Nzema Youth League, spoke to the media about the situation and stated that the failure of these oil and gas companies to follow environmental safety regulations is becoming a national security concern.
"There is poor diversity in so many areas, including the environment, air, water, and systems in climate resilience," he remarked, referring to the initiatives of the Jubilee Partners and GNGC.
"Despite the fact that the fight against fossil fuels has been going on for more than ten years, we must remark that this negligence poses a threat to national security because agriculture is the only thing that we do for a living.
As we are the world's most peaceful tribe, it will only ever happen to us.
To save the agricultural economy, he claimed, local communities need carbon offset initiatives.
We need to plant trees to offset CO2, monitor the quality of the air constantly, and say "no" to venting and flaring greenhouse gases like CO2 and other harmful emissions.
He called for immediate action.
"The decent people of Nzema are dying, and I doubt that implementing climate mitigation measures will be expensive." As resource owners, we are slipping away. There is no work to be done, yet you want us to agree that your negligence is the best course of action.
