Happy Labour Day

Yesterday , delegates undertook an excursion to Kabalega Industrial Park (KIP) in Hoima. The visit was led by representatives from the Petroleum Authority of Uganda (PAU), who provided an overview of Uganda’s journey toward becoming an oil-producing country.

This journey began in earnest in December 2006 with the first commercial oil discovery, followed by phases of appraisal and negotiation that culminated in the Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2022.

Uganda is in its Construction Development Phase, with about USD 12 billion invested, over 1,200 companies involved, and 20,000+ jobs created as of March 2026. The Kabalega Industrial Park (KIP), led by UNOC, is a key hub for the oil and gas sector, featuring major infrastructure and attracting industrial investment—signaling growing demand for technical skills across the region.

The delegates also undertook a comprehensive tour of Kabalega International Airport, which is expected to serve as a major logistics hub once commissioned.

On the second day of the 11th Annual Oil and Gas Convention in Uganda, Dr. Nancy Kosgei, Director of the Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas National Polytechnic (MIOG-NP), delivered a presentation on “Building Capacity and Skill Development in Oil and Gas” under the broader theme of “Building Uganda's Oil and Gas Future Through Human Capacity Development.”

Discussions throughout the day centred on strengthening local talent through practical training and international collaboration, providing a timely platform to highlight the growing role of MIOG-NP in shaping the region’s energy workforce.

Through hands-on technical training, industry-aligned curricula, and partnerships with global energy players, MIOG-NP is equipping professionals with the competencies required across the oil and gas value chain.

Dr. Kosgei and the KPC team also leveraged the convention’s networking opportunities through the KPC sponsorship booth, establishing strategic industry connections with strong potential to support MIOG-NP’s expansion objectives.

Dr. Nancy Kosgei, Director Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas today represented the Acting Managing Director, KPC PLC Mr. Pius Mwendwa at the CEO’s breakfast in Uganda before the official opening of the 11th Annual Oil and Gas Convention being held at Speke Resort Convention Center.

Speaking during the breakfast, Hon. Dr. Canon Ruth Nankabirwa Ssetamum, Minister for Energy and Mineral Development who was the chief guest said "Uganda’s acquisition of a 20.15% stake in Kenya Pipeline Company PLC through the Uganda National Oil Company was a strategic investment to safeguard national energy security".

"Uganda’s heavy reliance on KPC infrastructure for petroleum imports makes the company critical to the country’s fuel supply chain. By becoming a shareholder, Uganda secures greater influence in decision-making, including representation at board level and a stronger voice on tariffs, operations, and long-term planning" she emphasised.

The Minister framed the investment as a form of “energy insurance”, designed to ensure stable, affordable, and reliable access to petroleum products while reducing vulnerability to external supply disruptions.

"This move is a catalyst for strengthening regional cooperation between Uganda and Kenya, supporting broader East African energy integration and infrastructure development" she highlighted.
