The investors from several British companies are in Uganda to look at possible investment opportunities in the oil and gas sector in Uganda.

“There is more to discover in the area. 60% of the area still needs exploitation. The job here is to discover if there is enough quantity of oil and gas to consider for commercialization,” he said.
