Residents of Satellite town and its environs have called for a forensic audit of the N715.5 million Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR projects by operators of tank farms.

According to them, the audit of the alleged expenditure became necessary to ascertain if such amount was committed into CSR projects in the area.

It would be recalled that the Tank Farm Owners Association, TFOA through its Secretary, Essiet Essiet, had alleged that the amount was spent on infrastructure for the community.
