NEW STRATEGIES FOR MOVING AHEAD AT THE GHANA SUMMIT

摘要

THE GHANA SUMMIT offered optimism and praise for the progress the west African nation's oil and gas industry has made in a short period of time. However, the optimism was tempered by calls to strike a balance between increasing local participation and attracting foreign investment. In the opening session, "Ghana's Oil and Gas Potential: Plans, Policies and Priorities", Dr Rashid Pelpuo, Minister of State, said that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to be "propped up" and more Ghanaians need to get involved in the petroleum sector.
