Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project

What Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project does

Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) is a Nigerian Federal Government environmental remediation project established in 2016 to address hydrocarbon pollution in the Ogoni region of Rivers State, Niger Delta. It was created to remediate land and water contaminated by decades of oil exploration and production activities affecting Ogoni communities, and is the official government body mandated to implement the recommendations of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) environmental assessment of Ogoniland. The project's served population is the oil-polluted communities in the Ogoni region — residents facing environmental degradation, health impacts, and loss of agricultural livelihoods due to hydrocarbon contamination. HYPREP operates through direct engagement with these communities and coordination with local government authorities, including security liaison at the local government area level.

HYPREP's core technology is environmental remediation technology for the restoration of hydrocarbon-polluted land and contaminated water bodies; no proprietary software platform, AI components, or patented processes are disclosed in the available data. Operations are field-based and government-led rather than technology-product-led, with leadership vested in an executive Chairman (currently Emmanuel Deeyah) and field activity concentrated in areas such as Khana Local Government Area in Rivers State.

HYPREP does not operate a commercial business model. It is funded exclusively through allocations from the Federal Government of Nigeria via government budgetary processes, and services are delivered as publicly funded environmental remediation rather than paid contracts. There are no disclosed customers, pricing models, or commercial revenue streams; engagement with communities and local government authorities is conducted as part of its statutory mandate rather than a go-to-market motion. As a government state entity under the Federal Government of Nigeria, ownership and operational control rest with the federal government.
