Hi! Good day, Damilare. I’m Sylvester, a researcher based in the University of Nigeria. I have a present research task to find out how much each of the International Oil Companies (IOCs) in Nigeria spend as yearly budget on corporate social responsibility for any of the years from 2015 to 2020. Your article was useful to me in getting the budget sum for Total. Getting similar information for the other IOCs is difficult as these companies do not post such specific sums in their official reports. Please, can you help me with similar information on other IOCs or direct me to where I can find them? Thank you for your assistance.
