June 6, 2023 This was coming as a reaction to the claims by Edu residents on how BUA sugar company had been a cause of hardship to their communities.
The BUA Group has claimed it had paid all the compensations due to some residents of communities in the Edu Local Government Area in Kwara State to the state Bureau of Lands.
In videos shot by residents and obtained by SaharaReporters, Edu LGA residents, primarily farmers, were seen accusing the company of acquiring all of their farmlands in 2014 and failing to deliver on all of the promises made to them nine years after their agreement. A BUA spokesman who requested anonymity told SaharaReporters that the company had also employed youths and women in the neighborhood as part of empowering locals and ensuring they benefitted from the project in their community.
BUA group also claimed that the company assisted community residents in transporting their farm produce to other parts of the state and outside of the state for sale.
