[DOC] Response to Eni’s comments of 8 Jul 2011

See all tags
It is surprising the Italian oil giant has stated they have consolidated relationships and agreements with the Etiama Community in order to properly address and manage the various issues raised over the past years when according to the people Eni has not set foot to the community since 1971...Eni started building a primary school [left it uncompleted] and it took the efforts of the local community to bring the structure to completion. Eni has not fulfilled promises they gave to the community...The worthy question to pose is that how many of these development projects have been undertaken. Their listed development projects have not come into reality at least for the people of Etiema. Boats were not provided, there are broken boreholes, amount of 5 million Naira promised for the past ten years has been a mirage and there is no viable corporate social responsibility...When the impacts of your operation contributed to the death of 20 young people and several oil spillages, Eni ought to act responsibly by extending the benefits of development to them.
