(1/4) "Local content is an article of faith, we must understand that oil is a resource (it is not ours) that has been given to us to hold in a trust for the people today and for generations to come."
(2/4)"Therefore the decisions we rake today shall be / must be beneficial to the Government, people and IOcs today as well as generations to come. In Ghana we don't want to develop a monopoly of local content."
(3/4) "What is more important is consistent fairness, transparency and opportunities created for local content. The IOCs and those that have the knowledge must transfer this knowledge so our conversation is different in 20 years times."
(4/4) "What we should start to see is that in 20yrs large exploration contracts are being given to locals not the same old guard. That should be the charge we give ourselves. If not we are just adlibbing local content." - Egbert Faibille, Petroleum Commissioner, @PetroleumGhana

1/ The pandemic has been very good for robots. Instead of putting humans at risk of contracting and spreading the virus to others, robots are rolled out in all sorts of arenas.
Here are a few examples of how the world is taking advantage of these technologies.

The facility is equipped with a capacity of 70beds, a pharmacy, X-Ray room, side laboratory, power generator, amongst other resources.
3/ Over the years, we have carried out sustainable initiatives in our host communities through various programmes, including access to quality healthcare. Over $130million has been invested executing ~340 projects in the four states where we operate (Bayelsa, Delta, Imo, Rivers)

Changing, or removing one element of this web affects the entire life system and can produce negative consequences.

3/ Last year, we recycled 1373.7kg of waste with the intention to reduce these figures over time. We have also empowered over 38,550 farmers in over 120 communities with the aim of contributing to conservation & sustainable use of #biodiversity through agriculture.
