He said that N35.19 was spent on direct project expenditure while N12.27 M for general and administrative costs N23.34 m on scholarships while N7.06 m went for Community Engagement Management Board (CEMB) Administrative expenditures.

“This Annual General Meeting is a means of demonstrating one of the GMoU objectives which is transparency and accountability. This will enables have the desired trust of our people in our dealings as we carry out our stewardship function.

“We will not stop to call on government at various levels, the local government in particular to be fully involved to encourage, guide, monitor and provide necessary support in community development planning and implementation,”Amamogiran said.

Speaking at the event, Mr Esimaje Brikinn, General Manager in charge of Public Affairs at CNL applauded the association for successful management of the development process and achieving community empowerment and sustainable development.

Brikinn who was represented by Mr Elijah Bikikoro , Team Lead at CNL assured that despite the harsh global environment for the energy sector, the oil firm remained committed to meeting its social obligations to its host communities.

“We are glad that Dodo River Community Development Association has executed and commissioned several development projects, including concrete walkways, potable water, town halls, electricity power project and others.

“It is also heartwarming to note that that the association has trained hundreds of persons in diverse vocational skills in addition to a special economic empowerment as well as adult education programme for women and schorship for students from the communities,” Brikinn said.

Mr Mark Christmas, secretary of the association applauded members of the host community for their peaceful disposition and use of dialogue which resulted to the award of peace bonus by CNL.
