Makubaliano mapya ya uchunguzi wa mafuta kati ya Sierra Leone na Shell yanalenga kukuza uchumi na uwekezaji.
Kampuni ya kimataifa ya nishati, Shell, imesaini makubaliano na serikali ya Sierra Leone kwa ajili ya kufanya uchunguzi wa mafuta na gesi katika maeneo ya baharini.
Mradi huo unatarajiwa kufungua fursa mpya za uwekezaji na kuongeza mapato ya taifa kupitia sekta ya nishati.
Serikali imeeleza kuwa makubaliano hayo ni sehemu ya mkakati wake wa kutumia rasilimali za asili kwa maendeleo ya kiuchumi.
Wataalamu wanaonya kuwa ni muhimu kuhakikisha uwazi na usimamizi mzuri katika utekelezaji wa mradi huo.
Hatua hiyo inaweza kuiweka Sierra Leone katika nafasi bora katika sekta ya nishati barani Afrika.
