Sunday, October 7, 2018

During a meeting between South Sudan’s Minister of Petroleum, Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, and Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, Gatkuoth reaf firmed his country’s commitment to the implementation of new local content regulations in the oil and gas sector.

The two men discussed South Sudan expanding its oil and gas infrastructure and bringing more wells into production.

Gatkuoth requested technical assistance and cooperation from Nigeria and also requested that Nigeria share its experience in the hydrocarbon industry with South Sudan.

“Being Africa’s largest oil producer, Nigeria has vast experience in the oil & gas industry which can be very beneficial to South Sudan,” Minister Gatkuoth said, adding that South Sudan was looking forward to learning from Nigeria’s experience in domestic capacity building.
