Namibia must pump its first oil very soon, President Nandi-Ndaitwah told lawmakers Thursday. She shared this plan during her first address to the nation at the National Assembly. Her team wants to speed up deals with partners abroad and simplify rules for oil companies. The government will build what oil firms need to succeed.
The president sees great value in using all of Namibia's oil resources. She spoke about these goals as part of her new leadership vision. Her words mark a shift toward faster oil development across the country. The speech focused on making Namibia an oil producer quickly. She believes the right steps can unlock wealth from natural resources.
The administration hopes these changes will transform the economy. Officials want to create jobs through oil production. Namibia recently discovered major offshore oil deposits, which prompted leaders to push for rapid development. The president made energy independence a key part of her agenda.
