Following a motion moved by the lawmaker representing Yenagoa Constituency ‘three’, Mr. Emelah Gentle under matters of urgent public importance, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly has invited Daewoo 58 to appear before the House Committee on Environment, Oil and Gas.
Daewoo 58 is to explain the non-implementation of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with its host communities. According to Mr. Emelah, Daewoo’s action is capable of causing disaffection with its host communities and portray the state in bad light. He also pointed out that Daewoo has also refused to give employment to youths and failed to repair the only existing road which according to him was destroyed by its heavy duty vehicles.
Members in their contributions described the action as against corporate social responsibility to the people, adding that if not checked it might rob the state of basic amenities and derail ongoing effort towards increased revenue base for the state.
