“A Unique Example”
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, World Bank Group representative Nils O. Tcheyan focused on the concept of partnership. “The project is a unique example of a partnership between two governments, three oil companies and the World Bank Group to develop the resources of the soil. I would like to thank all the partners for their efforts to arrive to this day. The project is the most important one in Africa today and should show the way for a rational development of mining or oil deposits to benefit the people and in the respect of the environment.”
