Ogoni Day(Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People)
A day of remembrance and solidarity with the Ogoni people’s struggle against environmental and human rights abuses.
Ogoni Day is observed on January 4 by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People to mark the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists in 1995. The day highlights the struggle against environmental degradation and human rights abuses in the Niger Delta region. Activists hold peaceful protests, cultural events, and memorial services to demand justice and corporate accountability. Educational workshops and art exhibitions raise awareness about oil pollution’s impact on Ogoni communities. Ogoni Day is both a remembrance of past sacrifices and a call to ongoing solidarity and environmental stewardship.
