The Incorporated Trustees of Ekere PYA Ogoni Initiative have been granted leave by a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt to seek a Judicial Review and to request a Mandamus order compelling the Minister of Environment and Minister of State Environment to release and make available information on the Ogoni Power Project.

The court suspended the planned flag off of the project and warned the defendants, which include the Minister of Environment and State for Environment, Attorney General of the Federation and Central Bank of Nigeria, not to disobey the order or risk being in contempt of court.

The defendants have been accused of proceeding with the project despite the court order being in place.
