OMAR ARTAN is my HERO of the month…..The Best African Football Referee …Retweet this severally to salute this great sportsman.

Podcast drops this weekend 🙂.

Coming soon on Uganda’s First Oil & Gas podcast @thebarrelcast_ 🎙️ I sat down with Uganda’s outgoing Minister of Energy, @NankabirwaRS , and the newly appointed Minister, @DrMusenero, for a conversation at one of the most important moments in Uganda’s energy journey. We talked oil. Power. Minerals. Delays. Blackouts. The refinery. First Oil. And the question beneath it all: Do you even know that Uganda’s oil has a name?

The drop in nitrogen fertilizer prices has now extended into Asia. India has received offers for its latest urea tender at an average price of $530 per tonne, down ~44% from $947 per tonne in April.

The journey has been one of service, sacrifice, learning and transformation. From advancing the East African Crude Oil Pipeline @EACOP_ and Tilenga and Kingfisher projects, to strengthening electricity generation and distribution, promoting renewable energy and unlocking opportunities in the mining sector, we have laid important foundations for Uganda’s industrialization and economic growth.

Today, I formally handed over the office of Minister of Energy and Mineral Development to Hon. @DrMusenero . It has been an immense privilege and honor to serve our country in this capacity, working alongside dedicated public servants, development partners, investors and stakeholders to advance Uganda’s energy and mineral sectors.

Dangote Refinery exceeds design capacity, processes over 700,000 barrels in major operational test Nigeria's🇳🇬 Dangote Petroleum Refinery has achieved a major operational milestone, processing 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day during a recent performance test, exceeding its official nameplate capacity of 650,000 barrels per day.

Glad to know that the first batch of urea in Southeast Africa was produced by the Zambia United Capital fertilizer project with Chinese investment! Upon reaching full production capacity, the project will yield an annual output of 300K tons of urea, effectively alleviating fertilizer shortages in Zambia, reducing agricultural production costs. 🇨🇳🇿🇲#Industrilzation

Solar accounted for 173 of the 322 power projects announced across the continent in 2025, while the continent installed a record 4.5 gigawatts of new solar capacity, up 54% year over year. – AP & SolarBytes

The OILCOM terminal in Mtwara, Tanzania handles petroleum products headed to Uganda. Its capacity is 65 million litres with expansion plans already underway. Loading fuel in trucks is a delicate activity, requiring safety of the people, and the inflammable fuel.
