GBC, April 17, Ghanadot - Ghanaians greeted the
discovery of oil with elation when the official
announcement was made at the Castle, Osu. The President
at the time, John Agyekum Kufuor, so optimistic about
the prospects called the discovery a 'shot in the arm'
that could in his words propel Ghana to the status of an
'African Tiger' in a few years.
The national euphoria continued as policy makers, civil
society groups, and analysts raised concerns regarding
the challenges of managing Ghana's oil and gas
resources. In fact, Ghana's oil windfall is modest by
global or even regional standards.
