Abstract
This paper examined CSR performance of oil companies from the perspective of host communities in the Niger Delta. A questionnaire
instrument was employed to elicit the perceptions of host communities using 355 participants selected by random sampling from 48
communities across three states. The data were analyzed with descriptive method, Kendall’s W test and Mean Rank Statistics. The
results showed a weighted mean score less than 3.0 performance score criterion for all specified CSR dimensions indicating a perception
of poor performance in each dimension. The mean of the mean scores was also less than 3.0, indicating a perception of poor overall
performance. The Kendall’s W was 0.831; X2 was 507.037 at p=.000, indicating a high level of concordance between the respondents
from the communities in their perception about CSR performance by oil companies. The results indicated high level of dissatisfaction by
host communities about the CSR performance of oil companies.
