He explained that the plan specifies the community development initiatives required to respond to the findings and strategy identified in the Host Community Needs Assessment that they have conducted in the five communities. “We expect the leadership of the Trust to recognise that sustainability development thrives only within an environment of peaceful co-existence. As such, the process of sustainable community development requires effective, result- oriented and purpose driven leadership,” he said.
Commissioner for Environment and Mineral Resources, Chief Etim Uno, appreciated the firm for its ingenuity in managing its relationship with its host communities, which has resulted in the selection of people with proven integrity that would partner the state government to complement its efforts in infrastructural development, through implementation of sustainable projects.
The Ekpon Development Union , Edo State, has denied reports of a ‘bitter land dispute’ between the community and Ewohimi, saying the two communities are following laid -down procedures to delineate the boundary between the two towns that have lived peacefully over the years.
