Niger creates an oil and gas school. Extractive industries are at the heart of Niger's development strategy.
Niger currently produces 110,000 barrels per day, 90,000 of which are to be exported via a giant pipeline to Benin. Other countries, such as Senegal for several years, have set up advanced courses to train inOil and gas exploitation. For Dr Maman Sillimana, teacher-researcher at the University of Zinder, the creation of this school is a godsend.
