The incomparable columnist and master of our lingo, GHK Lall, and my esteemed Oil & Gas Governance Network (OGGN) colleagues deserve high praise for their recent shining of light on the real story behind the grandiose US$100 ($10 MM annually for 10 years) gift to Guyana’s Science Technology Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) programme.
