“…This supports the notion of doing interviews as a part of an ongoing stakeholder analysis. It may be that this positive outcome of doing interviews can be explained by the dialogue influencing the narratives about the project purpose and objectives as was also reported in Boddy & Paton [32]. It is especially interesting that a very negative narrative changed after the interview/dialogue regarding possible positive outcomes from the project and the needed contribution from the stakeholder for the project to succeed.…”

“…Another intriguing illustration on how the theoretical concepts of the different schools can be complementary to each other are the case studies presented by Boddy and Paton (2004) in their discussion of competing narratives. In their paper, Boddy and Paton discuss various roots that lead to competing or converging narratives -and thus to perceived project success or failure.…”

The Nigerian oil and gas industry (NOGI) has over time been dominated by the Nigerian government and oil producing companies (OPCs). The influences of the community stakeholder on OPCs in the last three decades have been expressed in diverse ways by different community sub-groups through their concerns and interests, some of which have severely impacted on the NOGI. Community within this context is categorised as a primary stakeholder, while the sub-groups are secondary stakeholders that emerge from within the community. Hence, the success of the NOGI largely depends on the Nigerian government and the oil producing companies, and other players such as Non-Governmental Organisations recognising the community as a key player and having appropriate knowledge of the different sub-groups of secondary stakeholders within the community in order to understand their intentions, behaviour, interests, influences and interrelations. Such knowledge is relevant to the NOGI's formulation of future oil and gas strategy.This study commences with an overview of the primary stakeholders (i.e. the Nigerian government, OPC and the community), their respective activities, participation and the link between these stakeholders with a specific focus on the NOGI context. Subsequently, various sub-groups of secondary stakeholders within the community and their respective interest(s) are identified in detail.
