Senegal’s Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko said a gas contract for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim project was found unfair and one-sided.
The statement came Thursday on national television, revealing results from the government’s review of strategic contracts across multiple sectors.
Launched after Sonko took office in 2024, the review aims to ensure fairness in oil, gas, fishing, and procurement agreements.
He said the oil and gas sector remains under scrutiny, with discussions ongoing with partners to safeguard Senegal’s gas supply.
Sonko did not disclose details of negotiations with BP, the operator of the GTA project, leaving specifics undisclosed to the public.
The Prime Minister promised a forthcoming document detailing all contracts currently under review, aiming to enhance transparency in governance.
Officials have stressed the government’s priority is securing energy resources while balancing the country’s economic interests and international partnerships.
The review reflects Senegal’s broader push for strategic oversight and fairer terms in sectors critical to national development.
The government’s move comes amid global scrutiny of resource contracts, with citizens demanding accountability and equitable agreements for public benefit.
Observers say the review could reshape Senegal’s energy landscape and influence future negotiations with multinational partners in the oil and gas sector.
