Monrovia — Days after protesters stormed the Capitol Building against alleged plans by government to sell new oil blocks in Liberia, officials of the National Oil Company (NOCAL), Thursday held a closed door meeting with Lawmakers of the Lower House (House of Representatives) to accordingly discuss issues surrounding the country oil sector.

The over three-hour meeting, according to an inside source was to discuss issues relating to the relinquishing of two of the four oil blocks operated by Anadarko and how to begin negotiation on the oil blocks. But speaker Alex Tyler in a brief interview with reporters claimed not to have knowledge about such information.
