BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ARTWORK:
Oil Exploration brings so much wealth to a
nation. Most Nigerians are carried-away by the tremendous oil revenue (foreign
exchange) which her various oil wells are generating, and nobody stop's to
think about the adverse affect (water pollution) that arises from oil exploratory
activities. Many rivers and streams in the south-south region of Nigeria are
so polluted due to the negligence of oil companies, which in turn leads to
frequent oil pipe-line leakage and this renders the aquatic life of these
areas virtually in a non-existent state. Water is life, we should always remember
that.
