ERHC Energy Inc (ERHE)

[RUBY1100]

More trash talk ... As well as being a GoodWorks executive, Jeter is a board member of the Texas-based company ERHC Energy, which has been criticised for the way in which it obtained exploration licences in the joint development zone established by Nigeria and the Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe.

There is no legal reason why US lobbyists shouldn’t represent companies that seek to establish themselves within a country, as well as the country itself. They are entitled to do personal business with countries which have contracts with GoodWorks. But such relations, often opaque and irregular, can favour the pillaging of the resources that the people of Africa need so badly.
