Tejire is an Associate Solicitor at Leigh Day, an international law firm dedicated to combatting injustice by representing individuals, NGOs and charities in human rights cases and holding corporations and governments to account for loss, damage and abuse perpetrated overseas, particularly in the Global South. Tejire has a background in civil litigation and dispute resolution and works as part of a legal team representing two communities in the Niger Delta who have been impacted by the effects of oil spills. The Ogale and Bille communities in the Niger Delta (estimated combined population of 80,000) have been fighting for justice against the British oil and gas giant, Shell plc and its Nigerian subsidiary, for over ten years. They simply seek to ensure that the oil pollution which has devastated their communities is cleaned up to international standards and that compensation is provided for their loss of livelihoods and the destruction of their way of life, given that these rural communities’ ability to farm and fish has been largely destroyed.
