Survey shows overwhelming support for renegotiation of Petroleum Agreement
Introduction
The results of a recent survey on the 2016 Petroleum Agreement with ExxonMobil and partners reveal overwhelming public support for renegotiation, with serious concerns about key provisions of the Agreement. The survey, conducted by Ram & McRae using the Google Forms platform attracted 135 responses from a diverse group of respondents including professionals, academics, students and citizens, provides compelling evidence that the Government’s “sanctity of contract” position is at odds with public sentiment.
