Nomiye explained that the funding is made up of N296million for projects and N35million for general administration.
The IRDC was established in 2005 and made up of representatives of a cluster of Ilaje communities, as well as interfaces between the NNPC/Chevron Joint Ventures and 46 communities close to Chevron operations to ensure sustainable development and maintenance of peace in the communities.
