HARDtalk - Ankkio Briggs

The Niger Delta is rich in oil and home to millions of poor people; it's an unstable region with global significance. Armed militants have inflicted damage on the oil industry, and in a sign of international concern, the British Prime Minister has offered Nigeria assistance. Ankkio Briggs is a prominent activist campaigning in the area. She accuses big oil companies and the Nigerian government of exploiting her people. Stephen Sackur asks her if violence and criminality undermine her cause.
