This support comes as a moral duty towards the areas close to the oil operations. As rich Murada is in oil sites, it has not received sufficient attention in decades.
However, the NOC has previously supported the municipality of Murada in the water and electricity sector, and still continues to provide support according to available capabilities and allocated budgets. Furthermore, the Department of Sustainable Development aims to support the education sector and extend even more support to the water sector in the near future.
