SUMMARY
The study has showed that the National Assembly passed a bill, which led to the establishment of the Niger-Delta Development Commission (NDDC). The NDDC’s function tackling developmental project deficiency, ecological problem and advising the Nigeria state and state government in the region on the plausible ways to prevent and control oil spillages and environmental pollution which has been a major problem in the Niger-Delta and Sapele Local Government Area. The study shows that Sapele terrain is made up of flat and low land with no hills, mountains and rocks. It however consists of mangrove swamp forest around several communities. In the hinterland of Aghal Sapele, there exists a savannah belt. The land in Sapele area encompasses a forest reserve that is preserved and controlled by the state government. A creek breaks off around the Sapele reserved forest and runs through Ugberikoko, Ituru, Ugbibidaka and turns into shallow streams afterwards. Another creek turns off from the Ikeresan River, running through Okpakomedje to Elume River, thereby leaving an enclosed forest island. The Elume River runs through Ologho, Ekoko, Mereje and Ugbokodo Rivers. Some of the streams have waterways dredged to allow floating of timbre from the swamp forests into sawmills, which are often located by the riverbank, particularly in Sapele. The relief shows a promising fertile land further blessed with crude oil.
