…Petroleum advisor urges citizens
Government’s Petroleum Advisor Dr Jan Manga believes that Guyanese need to have realistic expectations of the impending oil-and-gas industry and urged that focus be placed on infrastructural development and investing the revenue from the resource on the citizens.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday, Dr Mangal said with news of the oil finds, there has been much talk about job creation within the sector, but notes that that could be a misconception. In fact, the expert noted that such an expectation is unrealistic. “Initially, expectations are all over the place because people don’t know what to expect and they expect jobs from in the industry and that’s not realistic.”
