Africa Contributes 35% of Newly Discovered Global Oil Reserves – Report

 A recent report has revealed that Africa accounts for 35% of newly discovered global oil reserves, underscoring the continent’s growing importance in the global energy sector. 

The report, published by an international energy consultancy, highlights new oil finds in countries such as Namibia, Angola, and Nigeria as key contributors to this development.

The discoveries come at a time when global energy demand is shifting, with major economies balancing oil exploration with the transition to cleaner energy sources. Analysts predict that these new reserves could significantly boost economic growth in Africa, provided that governments implement policies that encourage responsible exploration and revenue management.

Despite this positive outlook, challenges such as infrastructural deficits, regulatory hurdles, and environmental concerns remain critical issues that must be addressed to maximize the benefits of these oil discoveries.
