Hon. Anamero Dekeri Speaks Out on Neglect of Corporate Social Responsibility at Dangote Cement, Okpella

As part of his legislative oversight duties, Hon. Anamero Dekeri, the representative of Etsako Federal Constituency and member of the House Committee on Solid Minerals Resources, visited BUA Cement in Okpella to assess the operations of the mining company. During the visit, Hon. Dekeri expressed concern over the exploitative practices that mining companies often engage in within host communities.

He emphasized the need for mining companies to adopt more ethical practices that respect both the environment and the livelihoods of the local population. Hon. Anamero called for an end to the exploitative behaviors that have negatively impacted the host communities, particularly in Okpella, and urged mining companies to take greater responsibility for their actions.

In addition to his critique, Hon. Dekeri advocated for the institutionalization of a robust and effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. Such a strategy would ensure that host communities benefit from the presence of large corporations through development projects, improved infrastructure, and social support initiatives. He stressed that mining companies must not only extract resources but also give back to the communities that house them.

Hon. Anamero reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that companies operating in Etsako and beyond adopt practices that prioritize the well-being of their host communities, calling for a new era of responsible mining in Edo State.
