Abstract:
The Impact of Kaduna Refinery and PetroChemical Company (KRPC) on the Adjoining Settlements in Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State. The presence of industrial facilities often has significant effects on the surrounding areas, including the environment, economy, and the well-being of local communities. This study focuses on examining the impact of the Kaduna Refinery and PetroChemical Company (KRPC) on the adjoining settlements in Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The Kaduna Refinery and Petro-Chemical Company (KRPC) is one of the major oil refining and petrochemical production facilities in Nigeria. It plays a crucial role in the country’s energy sector and contributes significantly to the local and national economy. However, the operations of such industrial facilities can have both positive and negative consequences for nearby communities. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to investigate the impact of KRPC on the adjoining settlements. Data collection methods include surveys, interviews, and observations. The research examines various dimensions of the impact, including environmental pollution, socio-economic effects, and the quality of life in the affected communities. Preliminary findings indicate that the operations of KRPC have resulted in both positive and negative consequences for the adjoining settlements. On the positive side, the presence of KRPC has created employment opportunities for local residents, thereby contributing to the economic development of the region. Additionally, the company has undertaken corporate social responsibility initiatives, such as the provision of basic amenities and infrastructure, which have improved the living conditions in the settlements.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
Oil is a major source of energy in Nigeria and the world in general. Oil being the mainstay of the Nigerian economy that plays a vital role in shaping the economic, social and political destiny of the country. Although Nigeria’s oil industry was founded at the beginning of last century, it was not until the end of the Nigeria civil war (1967 – 1970) that the oil industry began to play a prominent role in the socio-economic life of the country.The role of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company (KRPC) as a potent factor of increase economic activities in the adjoining settlement which are widely acknowledged because of the strong influence it exerts on economic activities within and around the study area probably this fact is what underlies the rapid growth of the adjoining settlement.
Rido is a settlement found in the southern part of Kaduna, Located in Chikun Local Government Area. The existence of the settlement was prompted by the location of Kaduna Refinery. Kaduna Refinery is located to the west of Rido village. The settlement is predominantly occupied by Fulani, Hausa, gwaris and Kaduna tribes. The settlement of Rido can be described as an organically Developed settlement this is because so far and investigated, there is no physical development plan, that has been prepared to guide development in the area and thus bring about physical planning benefit.
In these studies of the impact of KRPC on Rido village, the positive and negative influence of the giant multi-million naira petrochemical company on the settlement will encompass socio-economic impact, environmental impact, and physical impact. This will be undertaken to ensure that the living condition of the people or dwellers of Rido will find life convenient and accommodating. This will ensure orderliness within the environment. The role of the environment cannot be over or underestimated as it is the niche within which we subsist and have our being.
