Abstract

Organisations can only flourish when the communities and ecosystems in which they operate are healthy. The paper discussed corporate partnership of the liaison officer and the effects of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the multinational oil companies on the Niger Delta. The work is historical in nature, utilized content analysis by using mainly secondary materials as its source. The work found that the neglect of host communities coupled with the failure of multinational oil companies in their CSR snowballed into crisis. Through the efforts of Community Liaison Officer (CLO), the oil companies carried out developmental projects such as social and basic infrastructures, education, empowerment and healthcare among others as way of improving the already strained relationships. The study concluded by recommending unity of purpose between oil companies and stakeholders, clearly stated community annual budgets and carefully management of community perceptions by government. Strong participation of host community in the developmental projects is also appropriate for sustainable peace.
