The House of Representatives and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have commended Dangote Coal Mines Limited for supporting the government by adding values to the live of Nigerians at the grassroots level through its multimillion-naira corporate social responsibility schemes in its host community.

They also applauded the company for adopting innovations that have positively impacted the rate of road crashes across the country.

While acknowledging the job-creating strides of the company, the lawmaker said there was a need for the company and the host community to always be on the same page in the implementation of the mutually consented Community Development Agreement(CDA).

Also speaking, a representative of the FRSC, Deputy Corps Marshal Kayode Fanola, commended Dangote Group for introducing measures that have helped reduce the rate of road accidents in the country.

The Youth leader said that solar-powered boreholes, bridge and road construction, and the construction of blocks of classrooms and a Clinic were some of the projects implemented by the company at the Awo Akpali community.

Leader of the Dangote delegation to the Interactive Session Alhaji Taslim Jimoh told the lawmaker and other guests at the event that Dangote Group is a law-abiding company,adding that compensation has been paid while other requirements needed for uninterrupted coal mining have been met.
