Environment Impact Assessment: Kaduna Community Asks Govt To Investigate Firm

From Julius B. Kezi, Kafanchan
Manchock community in Kaura Local Government Area of Kaduna State has renewed its call to the federal and Kaduna State government to investigate activities of Quaint Global Energy Nigeria Ltd
The position of the community followed what it described as “cunning activities” assumed by the firm as a result of media publications, refuting its claim of conducting environmental impact assessment in Manchock.
Spokesperson of the community and the Madakin Moroa, Malam Isiaku Sambo, maintained that the development was a swift reaction by the firm to cover up its shady deal to further mislead government and the people.
He said the community was sceptical about activities of the company as it does not have any correspondence from any quarters to that effect. The Madakin Moroa added that the digging of the soil undertaken by the firm posed security threat to the community as it was not certain of what was planted.
He then urged government to as a matter of urgency to intervene to save the community from being used to perpetrate unlawful acts.
Efforts made through telephone calls and text messages to get comments from the firm proved abotive.
