What time did the Niger delta disaster happan?

The Niger Delta disaster refers to a series of oil spills and environmental degradation that have occurred over many years in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, rather than a singular event with a specific time. One of the most significant incidents occurred in 2008, when a major oil spill from the Shell-operated Bonga oil field released an estimated 40,000 barrels of oil into the ocean. However, ongoing oil spills and environmental issues have persisted in the region, highlighting the long-term impacts of the oil industry on local communities and ecosystems.
