The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority have pledged deeper collaboration to eliminate regulatory uncertainties and strengthen investor confidence across Nigeria’s petroleum industry.
The commitment followed a courtesy visit by the new Authority Chief Executive of the NMDPRA, Rabiu Abdullahi Umar, to the headquarters of the NUPRC in Abuja.
The meeting, hosted by the Commission Chief Executive of the NUPRC, Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, focused on strengthening cooperation between both regulators and creating a more coordinated regulatory framework across Nigeria’s upstream, midstream, and downstream petroleum sectors.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Head of Media and Corporate Communications at the NUPRC, Eniola Akinkuotu, both agencies reaffirmed their shared responsibility for the overall health and stability of Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
