Dominion Farms' response to allegations of forced displacement of Nigerian farmers

'(NOT) Doing Business in Nigeria', 5 Feb 2015: In...2011...the Nigerian Minister of Agriculture…[invited]...Dominion Farms….[to establish a rice plantation on] 30,000 hectares of land…[In] 2012…we signed an "MOU" with the State of Taraba and the Government of Nigeria…We were finally…ready to plant crops at the end of 2013 with the State of Taraba promising to pay compensation [to displaced persons] as was their contracted duty…when things suddenly changed…Dominion sat in the middle of a political war…so no farming has been done and none will be…Dominion has been accused of taking land, displacing people, and using dangerous chemicals, when in fact not one of the accusations is remotely true…[T]his is nothing more than a smear campaign…
