empowerment as the company embarked on its 12th Corporate Social Responsibility Outreach to its host communities.
Represented by the Board’s Zonal Coordinator for Akwa Ibom/ Cross River Zonal Operations and Administration, Mr. Uduak Obot, the Executive Secretary said, “We are here to witness what you have done; another milestone in capacity development initiative of Moni Pulo, which is key to the Nigerian Content Law. This is what we preach. This is corporate social responsibility. We can see that you are not a major operator.
“Hold that peace on. The Local Content Law is for you: the Host Community. We are highly supportive of you. We came here to see what Moni Pulo is doing so that we can also see whether they have fallen in line with the Nigerian content law. But I must tell you that they keep making our job easier in this zone. We are glad to see what we see today that [they] are complying with the local content law.
According to Mrs Lulu-Briggs, Moni Pulo has had a long and very healthy relationship with the people of Mbo Local Government Area. “Since 1999 we have been in your lives, working hard to leave positive footprints in Mbo Local Government Area. MPL’s Corporate Social Responsibility package is structured along four core areas: Educational Development, Skill Acquisition & Empowerment, Infrastructural Development, Sports and Social Welfare,” she said.
Mrs Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs who was represented at the event by Moni Pulo’s Head of Admin and Community Relations, Chief Daerego Clifford, as it was customary with the company, due consultations with the host communities to capture the actual needs of the people was responsible for the investment in the transportation start-ups.
