 A resident of Okumu community in Edo state have lamented the abandonment of the multi-national company in their domain. Some of the people there who spoke with our correspondent at Puma-Jerrifrider expressed worries over the abandonment by the state government. Okumu Palm Oil Company, they say, has failed in their corporate social responsibility to them as hosts. No health centre, light water, road scholarship and bursary for the children in the community. The managing director and executive director of the Okumu Oil Company, Graham Heffa, the bank, the allegation. When a company is using the name of a community, actually it matters a lot or else the name wouldn't have been useful for them. But in spite of all this, we are not benefiting something good from that company. So, we are looking at it that it is a kind of marginalisation, it is a kind of spoiling our people at the same time destroying their forest for no reason. The company have been cheating us for a long time and they gave us, I think the woman, gave them enough wrapper to be shared just to clean their tears, to see that things are in order and the JTF commander told them that our right should be given. You can see that the life we live here is barbaric because no health centre, no health centre, no school, you can see a lot of children, all these children they are supposed to be in school, only parents that can pay their school fees maybe take them to hire a house for them. We have a primary school here but the only headmaster is the only teacher from primary one to primary six so the community contributes money to pay some hired teachers to groom some of the children. Surviving for some of our work like we are doing fishing, we are doing farming, we are cutting timber and other works and this environment is very very very critical for some aspect of life. As far as I'm concerned had its own internal problems and our company will not engage with the community that is fighting with itself because if you do you'll be damned if you do damned if you don't why because you'll go to this group and then this group will say we are the group that you should talk with and then the other group over there will say they are the group so we actively remove ourselves until such time as the community are able to put together a de facto community committee that will represent them wholly, talking with each other for a number of years now. The bursary scheme we don't have a bursary and scholarship it's a bursary scheme that we have with this community has still been ongoing until last year when they said to us we are refusing to accept your bursaries so I'm not going to beg them to take it they refused. so you get notified about fresh news updates
