Community Relations
Our communities are integral and significant part of our stakeholder and do have a symbiotic and mutually beneficial relations with us.
The objective of our community relations is not just to sustain but also to improve this very significant relationship; in this wise, we have established a grievance policy to facilitate the resolution of any grievance if and when they arise. The community indigenes have been tutored on the procedures and significance of this grievance policy.
It is instructive to state that we have had excellent relationship with all our communities as exemplified by the photograph contained in this section.
