Ugandan tipped on oil sector jobs

“…oil companies everywhere are under pressure from their financiers, governments and civil society organisations to deliver results, so they may not want to waste time on semi-trained local people”. Said the Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, Elly Karuhanga, who officiated at the workshop convened by the Ministry of Education to discuss the lack of skills among Ugandas for the new oil and gas sector.
“Oil companies exploring in Uganda will not employ Ugandans without the qualifications needed in the oil and gas sector,” he added
