No further extension to offshore block auction – Jagdeo

There will be no further extension to the September 12 auction as the entire regulatory framework which will facilitate the process has been completed, Vice President (VP) Bharrat Jagdeo declared on Friday.

“We’ve had to extend the deadline a few times because of our inability to complete these two most important documents, but now that they’ve been completed, I don’t anticipate the need to shift the deadline again,” Jagdeo said in response to a  question about a further extension at the Ghana Chamber of Commerce Guyana conference on local content which was held at the Marriott Hotel.
