Description |
The study focuses on how the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of a gas company can be a factor in the development of the local community in the Niger Delta. It makes an attempt to understand the perceptions of the company and the community about how CSR can be a vehicle for community development. This research employs various qualitative research methods such as interviews, focus group interviews, semi- structured questionnaires and document analysis. The research argues that CSR as a mechanism of community development is like the ‘icing on a cake’: It is supposed to be an added advantage to complement government and community efforts towards development, rather than the overall answer to community development.
