Stakeholders from oil-producing communities in Imo State have indicted multinational oil companies operating in the area for neglecting their social and economic responsibilities towards addressing many challenges facing the people of the area.

The accusation was made during a stakeholder summit held in Owerri organised by the Commissioner for Niger Delta Affairs, Prince Henry Okafor, towards finding solutions to youth restiveness associated with oil bunkering and vandalisation of pipelines.

The chairman of the occasion, a former Inspector General of Nigeria Police and former chairman of the Nigeria Police Commission, Chief Mike Okiro, said that the gathering is a landmark event that will herald a new beginning for the way forward regarding the plight of oil-producing communities.
