As a way of giving back to oil-producing communities, the Federal Government said it has embarked on a total of 536 community projects across the Niger Delta.
In a statement on Monday, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) noted that the projects are being held simultaneously in the region.
It cited a case of before and after photos of a school in Obagi oil-producing community in Rivers State.
“The school is just one out of the 536 community projects being handled simultaneously through the Host Community Development Trust (HCDT).”
Delivered projects include a two-storey classroom block comprising 18 fully furnished classrooms, the remodelling of Ogbogu Cottage Hospital with a 20-bed capacity and new diagnostic centre, and the upgrade of the Ogbogu Ultra-Modern Civic Centre.
Others include road pavements at Oboburu community, a bottled and sachet water factory in Amah community, and the installation of gas skid plants and school renovations in Erema and Akabuka communities.
