Is oil a game-changer for Uganda’s future or a potential pitfall? In this episode, we explore “Oil Wealth and Development in Uganda and Beyond,” edited by Arnim Langer, Ukoha Ukiwo, and Pamela Mbabazi. With massive oil reserves discovered in the Albertine Rift Valley, Uganda faces a critical moment—will it harness this wealth for sustainable growth, or will it struggle with mismanagement and corruption? Featuring insights from Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, this book unpacks the challenges and opportunities of oil governance in Africa. Tune in as we break down the key debates, policy dilemmas, and what Uganda’s oil story means for the region and beyond.
