Daniel Nguema Minang, director general of Equatorial Guinea’s state electricity company SEGESA, asked the Prime Minister to allocate land in Oyala on behalf of Gas Guinea S.A., another company he heads. This dual role comes as the vice-presidency demands solutions to recurring power cuts in the country, according to Diario Rombe.

Daniel Nguema Minang Ntang, director general of the Equatorial Guinea Energy and Water Company (SEGESA), asked the Prime Minister to allocate land in Oyala in his capacity as director general of Gas Guinea, S.A., according to Diario Rombe. The move comes as he simultaneously heads the state company responsible for the electricity sector.

SEGESA is under pressure from Vice-President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, who is demanding solutions to power cuts and threatening to dismiss sector officials, according to Diario Rombe.

The request for land comes as the government demands greater mobilisation from SEGESA officials in response to disruptions to the electricity network, Diario Rombe reports.

The request comes two days after the demands by Teodoro Nguema Obiang on SEGESA, made on 10 November to address power cuts in Malabo.
