As Uganda edges closer to launching commercial oil production, the spotlight is increasingly focused on the need for unwavering integrity in a sector already attracting over $120 billion in capital investment. Lynda Biribonwa, the Board Chairperson of the Petroleum Authority of Uganda, warns that with local expertise still in its formative stages, adherence to globally recognized ethical standards is not just important—but absolutely imperative.
She urged the next generation of professionals to think beyond the oil wells and explore adjacent sectors such as banking, insurance, and value addition, where the ripple effects of oil production could unlock even more job opportunities.
