From October 2005 to February 2009 Erinys International Ltd, through its local operating company in Nigeria, provided consultancy support (not security personnel) for a number of corporate programmes undertaken by SPDC in the Niger Delta...The contract with SPDC included developing standard procedures for communications, transport management and medical provision. Erinys also established modules to involve local communities in the management and supervision of pipeline systems within their communities and more than 3,500 people in those communities were trained...The main objective of the programmes in which Erinys was involved was to tackle the causes of any operating problems rather than to deal piecemeal with the many consequences.
