If President Yoweri Museveni’s revelation that the cost of delivering Uganda’s crude oil to the Tanzania Port of Tanga will be US$12.2 per barrel is a fact to go by, then Uganda’s oil will be one of the most competitive in the world.

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni and his Tanzania counterpart Joseph Pombe Magufuli have commissioned the construction of the 1,445km-long East African crude oil pipe line from Hoima district in Uganda to the Tanzanian port of Tanga.

The Governments of Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi have commissioned works for the construction of 80MW Rusumo power dam on River Kagera. Once completed,  it is expected that the three East African countries will equally distribute the power output; each connecting about 30MW to its national grid.

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni arrived in Tanzania for a 2-day state visit on Saturday Feb. 25th, 2017.  Key on the agenda in meetings with his host, Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli, was infrastructure and harnessing business.
