As we all might know, the birth of JODI emanated from the 7th International Energy Forum Meeting held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in November 2000. The realisation of the negative impact of the unusually high volatile oil prices on economies of nations around the globe gave birth to the formation of JODI. This point is very important for us non-producing countries, but especially for Africa. Chief among the reasons for such volatile oil prices was deemed to be the lack of transparent and reliable oil statistics
