_“The reason we are here today is CDA and CSR, which Mangal Industries Ltd promised us. And today, they have made it real. So we are very happy for what Mangal has done for us today,”_ he said.
Oba David described Mangal Industries Ltd as a company that keeps its word, noting that beyond projects listed in the CDA agreement, the company also initiates additional CSR interventions after consultations with the community.
