Editor's Note: This is the first in a three-part documentary on Ghana's oil and gas industry. Over the next few months Hotline will be bringing you two other reports on the industry and at the centre of the discussion is whether the find is going to be a blessing a year after commercial production. Where do the local people figure in terms of jobs? Stay tuned for the next episode of Stained with Oil
In 2007 Ghana announced its first oil discovery off the coast of Takoradi.
In December last year commercial production began and just last month the country marked the first anniversary.
Already things are starting to change - new businesses setting up to service the offshore oil industry, an increase in population, and spiraling expectations.
But a year into commercial production more complicated issues seem to be coming up – from concerns that expats are controlling the sector to reports of disparities against the local workforce.
In this documentary, Stained With Oil - Kwaku Owusu Peprah explores these issues and finds out if Ghana can indeed achieve its projected 90 pecent local content by the year 2020.
