    Port Harcourt — The Dodo River Communities Development Association in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State has said that it got N93.93 million from Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL in 2019, slightly higher than the N82.56 million it got in 2018.
    The association, which manages the Global Memorandum of Understanding, GMoU, funds from Chevron on corporate social responsibility for CNL host communities in the area, said it spent a total of N77.87 million on community development in the 2019 fiscal year.

    “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.
    Also speaking, Chevron’s General Manager, Public Affairs, Mr Esimaje Brikinn, commended the association for successful management of the development process and achieving community empowerment and sustainable development.
