The former President of Senegal, Macky Sall, has recently offered a detailed lecture on the country’s new oil and gas era, insisting on the fact that his administration has not only confirmed the resources, but has especially put in place a legislative and institutional shield against mismanagement. Macky Sall clearly positioned the discoveries as an accomplishment of his policy. “When I became President of the Republic in 2015: première découverte, boom! “, he declared, referring to the gas found at the Mauritian-Senegalese border, in deep offshore. A few months later, the discovery of oil in Sanganar (100 000 barrels), in partnership with the Australian company Woodside, confirmed the magnitude of the Senegalese potential. In the face of this “joy” tinged with “inquiétudes”, it was urgent to learn from the mistakes made by other producing countries. The former head of state claimed to have promoted “a whole battery of laws” to strictly regulate future exploitation.
