Launched on August 1, 2025, the round includes three blocks in the Rio del Rey (RDR) basin – Ndian River, Bolongo Exploration and Bakassi – and six in the Douala/Kribi‑Campo (DKC) basin – Etinde Exploration, Bomono, Nkombe‑Nsepe, Tilapia, Ntem and Elombo. Strategically located near existing producing fields, these blocks feature prior drilling, 2D and 3D seismic coverage and identified leads and undrilled prospects, giving investors immediate insight into exploration and development potential

Our licence is not mentioned...as its not to be re-issued to someone else...we most likely will get a nod ( extension/approval ) in coming days/weeks..
Many seem to think we won't get extension until cabinet reshuffle has taken place.....my guess only a guess...our renewal is not dependent on cabinet reshuffle..president ( Paul biya) has already given thumbs up for our renewal..its only matter of time imo be4 minmidt gives its approval...
Either way it's too risky being out now....each to their own...
