Ghana is preparing to embark on oil exploration and it looks like they have learned some lessons from their neighbours in Nigeria and Gabon on the need to have a PLAN

Ghana has taken a bold initiative towards a systematic establishment of economic, technical and legal framework to manage its oil extraction, whilst maximizing its benefits to improve living standards. To this effect, the government has assigned a team of experts in the oil industry to develop a master plan for the petroleum sector.

The team of experts has been subdivided into six working groups and each is supposed to produce a policy document which would become part of the master plan to guide the development and management of Ghana’s emerging oil industry and how it interfaces with the rest of the economy.

Having a PLAN may help avoid situations like this “MEND 30 day ultimatum ………..

THE Defence Council (DC) of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger-Delta (MEND), yesterday, issued a 30-day ultimatum to both Bayelsa and Rivers State Governments to constitute the Boards of the Bayelsa and Rivers States Oil and Gas Commissions for the host communities or face the wrath of the militant group.
