Kenneth Yellowe: A discussion on oil production in West Africa

Among the countries with an expanding oil and gas industry is Nigeria; today, the industry is the largest in the country. Petroleum companies such as Kenneth Yellowe’s Global Energy Group are a major employer. For the developing nations of West Africa, Nigeria in particular, the oil industry provides both a boon and a challenge; Nigeria alone faces many hurdles that it needs to address to bring the oil wealth to more people.

Elsewhere in Africa’s west coast, countries have yet to fully tap the potential of proven viable reserves. The oil industry in nearby Ghana is still in a fledgling state. While Ghana has yet to fully exploit its large oil reserves, firms from both the country and abroad are working to improve the oil infrastructure in the country.

Kenneth Yellowe, the founder and CEO of Global Energy Group, gives back to the people of Nigeria through providing employment opportunities.

It falls upon the governments, the people, and the oil companies to distribute the oil wealth fairly to bring prosperity to the oil-rich nations of West Africa. It falls upon the oil companies like Global Energy Group to provide more employment opportunities for the people and to address environmental concerns that would potentially affect these countries’ other natural resources.
