Speaker tasks corporate bodies on community development By Uche Nwosu, special correspondent, Umuahia   Corporate organisations in the country have been charged to plough back 25 per cent of their profits to the development of their host community in order to maintain a cordial relationship with them. At the eastern zone of the national draw of Dunlop Plc tagged Joyrids to the Olympics promotion held on Wednesday at Aba, Abia State, the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Mr. Stanley Ohajunika, explained that if this is done, the constant friction between corporate organisations and their host communities will be reduced if not eliminated. He said the people whose lands were used to make the profits should be part of the success story, stressing that, “If you leave them in the lurch while you smile to the banks, there is bound to be friction that may lead to civil disturbance.” Ohajunika urged companies to act responsibly by paying their taxes and rates regularly, saying they should always be partners in progress in the development of their host states. The Managing Director of Dunlop, Mr. J.A. Lawuyi, said the company is embarking on another major expansion programmes called all steel radial truck (ASRT) that “represents the future of truck tyre”, noting that this would come on stream next year. Represented by the Human Capital Director, Dr. Olawale Ajai, the managing director said the objectives of “our take-a-trip promotion are to reward loyal customers and also uniquely encourage family participation (where winner and spouse) go on a trip. According to him, the aim of the company in sponsoring the trip is not only to send four couples (one each from the four regions) on a trip abroad but to ensure it is a memorable one, with the 2004 edition of the Olympic returning to the cradle, Athens. At the raffle draw ticket number 15360 won the trip to the Olympics in Athens, Greece. The winner will join other Nigerians to the Olympics this summer courtesy of the Dunlop’s Olympics promotion. About 10 other persons from Warri, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Uyo and Calabar won consolation prizes.       Copyright� 2002.
