WPDB - Enweh community lists demands for future involvement in the area of Cromwell and Nosferadu

Rumors have been flying of the development of the Block 77. Nosferadu  and Cromwell have both been communicated with the village, however nothing final has as of yet been confirmed.

The villagers are concerned for their future and has exclusively come to the WPDB to list their demands to be met before future negotiations can been undertaken.

"Enweh Community Demands for Engagement: 
- 20% of the jobs that are being given in the area for oil development to be given to people of the Enweh Community.
- 25% of Block 77's profit to be put into a development fund to be managed by the elders and other elected officials to fund health, education, infrastructure and technological development projects. 
- Ensure security for the region and full disclosure from an independent third party on the violent incident that took place in a village near the Enweh community.
- Enweh community representative on DiscoCroms board meetings concerning the future development of the Block 77."
