At the #OilSkillsExpoUg24 , the State Minister of Mineral Development @MEMD_Uganda , Hon. @PNyamutoro, emphasized the significance of national content in Uganda's rapidly growing oil and gas sector. She noted that by June 2024, out of the 14,607 individuals employed in the sector, over 90% were Ugandan, with 4,995 locals directly employed. This achievement reflects the successful implementation of the national content policy, which aims to maximize the participation of Ugandans in the oil and gas value chain.

—————————————————————————#UgOilLinkages The oil and gas sector in Uganda presents several opportunities for the education sector: 1. With the growth of the oil and gas industry, there is an increasing demand for skilled workers in various technical fields such as welding, instrumentation, electrical engineering, and mechanics. The education sector is responding by offering vocational training programs tailored to the specific needs of the industry, thereby equipping individuals with the skills needed to secure employment in the sector.

The third panel session of the day is currently underway with the focus being on the education sector opportunities created by the oil and gas sector. The panelists are discussing the changing face of education, skilling and capacity building in light of the oil and gas sector. #UgOilLinkages

“The country’s resource base stands at 6.5 billion barrels of oil initially in place with 1.4 to 1.8 billion barrels recoverable. Only 15% of the prospective area is licensed, and @MEMD_Uganda is in preparations for the next licensing round,” Ms. @irenebateebe reiterated. #UgOiLinkages

@upikuganda is making super strides in terms of developing Uganda's capacities especially in training Ugandans in technical skills like welding, and many other disciplines required in oil and gas operations. #CreatingLastingValue #PAUVisit @PAU_Uganda @MOFASomalia

The tour of the @upikuganda by the Heads of Diplomatic Missions @UgandaMFA from selected countries has been concluded. The team, consisting of Ambassadors and diplomatic officials, embarked today on a three-day field visit to Uganda's oil and gas operational areas. The field visit is being led by the @PAU_Uganda .
