Speaking at the virtual meeting, the CEO of Ghana’s Petroleum Commission, Mr. Egbert Fabille, underscored the importance of institutionalising the forum across the continent.

He said the forum is a vital step toward achieving a unified and progressive petroleum sector in Africa.

The representative of the Liberian Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Mohammed Dukuly, said the APRIPERF initiative would be beneficial to the continent.

He also encouraged member states to take ownership of their regulatory environments to maximise national resources for greater profitability.

The forum also adopted an official logo for AFRIPERF.

Similarly, AFRIPERF charter was reviewed and is set to be adopted at the next meeting.
