Partners of the Ford Foundation have begun efforts to address issues around Host Community Development Trusts (HCDTs) implementation in Nigeria.
The HCDTs was created by the Nigeria’s Petroleum Industry Act 2021. It is aimed at ensuring development of oil producing communities devastated by exploration of crude oil.
The partners, with support from the Ford Foundation, convened a meeting between 3 March and 9 March in Lagos to discuss HCDTs implementation in the country, according to a statement by the group which was forwarded to PREMIUM TIMES on Friday.
