KIKUUBE – The Minister of State for Economic Monitoring in the Office of the President, Hon. Santa Sandra Alum Ogwang, today visited the oil project in Kikuube District to assess the progress of implementation and establish the current status of the project.
The assessment forms part of the Government's continued monitoring of strategic national projects to ensure that they are implemented according to plan.
During the visit, the Minister and her accompanying team inspected ongoing activities at the Kingfisher project site and received updates on the progress made so far.
The assessment also provided an opportunity to identify achievements, challenges and areas requiring attention to ensure the smooth implementation of the oil development programme.
Speaking during the visit, the Minister underscored the Government's commitment to closely monitor the implementation of the oil project and ensure that progress is maintained in line with national development objectives.
The assessment is expected to provide the Government with a clearer picture of the project's current status and inform further interventions where necessary.
Uganda's oil and gas sector is expected to play an important role in the country's economic development through increased investment, employment opportunities, infrastructure development and participation of Ugandan businesses in the petroleum value chain.
Today's assessment therefore represents part of the Government's broader effort to ensure that Uganda's strategic oil investments progress effectively and contribute to sustainable economic transformation.
