Case

Completion of the Nigeria Hadejia Irrigation Project boosted local agricultural production

In January 2023, the Nigeria Hadejia Irrigation Project, undertaken by CGCOC Group, an affiliated enterprise of Sinopec's New Star, was successfully completed. The project covered an area of 5,748 hectares and included the restoration and upgrading of 15 existing blocks, the construction of 4 new blocks, the dredging and repairing of the main and northern canals, the dredging of the main ditches, and the reinforcement of the embankments. Upon completion, the project is expected to greatly improve the area's irrigation and drainage facilities, thereby boosting local agricultural productivity. It is estimated that the annual grain output in the irrigation region will increase by about 50,000 tonnes, while vegetable production is projected to rise by about 110,000 tonnes, making a positive contribution to promoting local agricultural modernization and broader social development.

Since 2011, the Cameroon Branch of Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation has actively collaborated with local governments and communities to enhance local living standards, donating over USD 3.5 million in resources to support local education, healthcare, infrastructure, and other essential sectors. In 2023, the branch donated essential medical equipment to Douala Laquintinie Hospital, including medical air compressors, anesthesia machines, wall-mounted oxygen units, electronic baby scales, and endotracheal intubation, which played an important role in improving the survival rate of newborns, enhancing treatment efficiency, and increasing the hospital's capacity to accommodate more patients.

To further support local communities in improving their water supply, the branch has taken the lead in implementing two social welfare projects, drilling two water wells and helping the Lower Bokoko Community in expanding water infrastructure, thereby alleviating water shortages, providing safe drinking water, improving public health, and reducing the incidence and spread of waterborne diseases.
