Sir Peter Idabor, the Director General of the National Oil Spill Detections and Response Agency has this to say on SDN’s assistance in the development of the oil spill monitor data gathering and mapping project:
“It has made the management of oil spill data a serious business since data inputted into the platform are readily available for public viewing. Data gathering during an [oil spill] investigation visit is improved because attention is paid to every available detail to provide data with high integrity. The availability of oil spill data in the public domain has improved on the perception of oil companies, communities and civil societies on the commitment of the Agency towards fulfilling its mandate through transparency and accountability.”
