She revealed that plans are underway to introduce the subject to students in secondary schools. She said that the minister of petroleum resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has asked that a team of professors be commissioned to prepare resources to be used in teaching students, the effects of hydro-carbon, in secondary schools. She added that there are plans to carry out a campaign in the affected communities but urged individuals living along the pipeline right of way to relocate.
