The Ministry of Mines and Energy is undertaking a strategic overhaul of its licensing application process to address challenges emerging from the country’s burgeoning oil discoveries.
The shift aims to streamline operations, ensuring more efficient and effective service delivery to the public.
Over the years, the ministry has employed an open licensing system, accepting applications for mineral rights and upstream petroleum licences.
However, Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo recently disclosed that the discovery of new oil resources has drawn attention to the complexities associated with the licensing system.
The ministry is now grappling with the intricacies of effectively managing these valuable assets.
