The Human Rights Activists Club (HURAC) has released her website analytical report for Ogoni/Niger Delta News for the 2013 year. It will be recalled that Ogoni/Niger Delta News was launched on July 23rd, 2012 and has since been receiving visitors from around the globe. HURAC is a growing student-led club operational in most of the secondary schools in Bori-Ogoni. It aims at educating and creating awareness amongst secondary school students on their fundamental human rights, and how they (rights) could be defended. The club was formerly launched in Rivers State Polytechnic, Comprehensive Secondary School Bori, on January 16, 2009 by the current MOSOP President, Mr Legborsi, Saro-Pyagbara during the Ledum Mitee-led administration. Today – as promised by the club International Representative, Mr Kate, Wisdom Deebeke – the club has grown so big, that almost everybody from Ogoni (and non-Ogonis) is aware of its presence and has diversified its roles to bringing Ogonis, home and abroad, current news and happenings within and outside Ogoni.
BACK TO THE STATISTICAL REPORT:Based on the site analytics released by the website host, 89 different countries had accessed the site in 2013 (a 123% increase over 2012 figure) with most visitors emanating from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom.
