1.2. STATEMENTOFTHE PROBLEM
As a result of the hazards and
exploitation of multinational corporations on the communities in which
they are operating, it is important for them to show a serious concern
in terms of being socially responsible to these communities.
However, it is difficult for one to. Say that a particular corporation
has contributed adequately to the development of a particular
Community
because development encompasses many things ranging from the provision
of infrastructural facilities, employment, scholarships and .a lot more.
Communities cry out of neglect, lack of appreciation and insufficient
compensation by corporations that are operating in their areas.
The
corporations on their pa refute- this claim by saying that they have
responded adequately to their social needs. The researcher also notice a
problem of disparity between the corporation and the community as to
who have fulfill his promise of providing social infrastructures and
economic benefit (or) whether the community is satisfied with what the
corporation has so far done to the community.
1.3. OBJECTIVEOFTHESTUDY;
The
main objective of the research work is to appraise the contributions of
Multinational Corporation towards community development. The specific
objectives of the study are:
a. To analyse the difference in opinion between the corporations and host Community.
b. To evaluate the level of social responsibility Carried out by Exxonmobil Oil Producing Nigeria.Plc in Eket.
c. To determine to what extend Exxonmobil have Contributed towards the development of Eket.
D To investigate what the corporation has actually done in the community in terms of infrastructural growth.
e. To examine the benefit of Exxonmobil to the people of Eket.
f. To highlight the problems caused to Eket community and environment due to the existence of Exxonmobil.
g. A suggestion that Exxonmobil should principally develop Eket as her host community.
1.4. SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The
study focuses on the contribution of Multinational Corporation to host
community when properly articulated, it will be of tremendous benefit to
many interest groups Exxonmobil and the people of Eket are at variance
over the issue of the firms satisfying them infrastructural and
otherwise. The people feel the corporation has not adequately
compensated them and as such their yearnings and aspirations are yet to
be satisfied. The study would be useful to engender efficient and
effective human relation among stall ci the corporation and host
community, the study will help to discover the corporation and the
people because of the difference in their claims. This study will be
useful to erase the disparity, call for a compromise, and also counter
the possibility of frequent contribution between both parties.
However,
the researcher is convinced that not only the people of Eket, the
government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and staff of Exxonmdbil
but also the general leader would find this study valuable. The research
work will be beneficial to researchers and prospective researchers in
the area of the study. It will serve as a guide for future researches.
