Our CSR interventions in Kogi impactful – Dangote Group

The Group Head, Branding and Communication, Dangote Industries Ltd., Mr Anthony Chiejina, said a report to gauge the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) initiatives in Kogi confirmed that it enjoyed robust relations with its host communities.
He said the CRS interventions were part of the Group’s recently signed workable Community Development Agreement (CDA).
He said the Group recently completed a multi-million naira health facility at Iwaa community, and that it also completed the multi-billion naira longest concrete road in Nigeria between Obajana and Kabba.
“The contributions of the company to the development of the state are too numerous to list; ranging from job opportunities to support in health sector, road infrastructure, education, financial empowerment, and rural electrification.
“It will be recalled that during the 2012 flood, the company had contributed N430 million.
“These interventions have really supported both the state and the Federal Government in the areas of health and road infrastructure.
“The Group is also building a multi-million naira skill acquisition centre in Lokoja, which when completed, would provide the requisite skills and thus empower the youth to be more productive and contribute to the economic development of the state,” he said.
