Ogun State House of Assembly, through its Committee on Environment has re- invited the Management of CNBM Mining Investment Company, Atan-Odolu Road, Ekinrugbudu, in Ijebu-North East to appear before it on Wednesday, 26th of March,  2025; following the failure of the management team of the company to honour the meeting stated for today, 18th March, 2025 on the need to discuss the petition against it by the Concerned Ijebu North- East indigenes.

The Chairman, House  Committee on Environment, Hon. Samsideen Lawal issued the invitation with a stern warning to the company to honour the next meeting to respond to allegation raised against it on the damage to public infrastructure and lack of corporate social responsibility to host communities.

According to the Chairman, the allegation against the company, especially the damage caused  to the Atan- Eruwon road constructed by the State Government by the heavy duty vehicles conveying quarry products from the company, weakening of building structure housing the General Hospital, Atan as a result of mining activities, including lack of clear cut Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives to the host communities raised by the petitioners needed to be addressed by the company.

Hon. Lawal in company of other Committee members, including Honorables Dickson Awolaja, Babatunde Tella and Seun Adesanya, however warned that failure to appear before the Committee on the next scheduled date would result in the Assembly invoking section 129 of the nation's constitution to call for a warrant to compel the Management of the company to comply.

The lawmakers however stressed the need for all companies, especially mining industries in the State to abide by the laws guiding their operations and accord priority to the welfare of their host communities through lawful businesses operations as well as ensure adherence to their corporate social responsibilities.
