A ministerial team left for Hides today to meet with the aggrieved landowners of the PNG Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in Hela.
The group comprises of the finance and petroleum ministers, a member of parliament, managing directors of trustee entities, officials from ExxonMobil and the media.
The delegation has just arrived at the Komo airport on a chartered Airlink flight and are now on their way to meet the landowners at Hides.
Discussions today with the landowners will be to address the petition they presented to the government earlier this week.
Although the petition was presented to ExxonMobil instead of the government, the team will try to deal with the issues raised.
This visit came about following actions taken by landowners to lock the gates to the Hides Conditioning Plant and the gates to several well pads supplying LNG to the plant.
