The Federal Government through its Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has fixed Friday, June 12, 2026, as the deadline for the submission of technical and commercial bids by prequalified applicants participating in the country’s ongoing 2025 Licensing Round.
The commission disclosed this in a notice posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, urging all qualified bidders to comply strictly with the timelines stipulated in the licensing guidelines.
“The NUPRC hereby notifies the general public that submission of Technical and Commercial Bids by Prequalified Applicants for the 2025 Licensing Round closes on Friday, June 12, 2026, at 16:30 hours (WAT) in line with the 2025 Licensing Round Guidelines,” the notice read.
The commission advised interested stakeholders to obtain further details through the official licensing round portal. “For more details, visit the licensing round portal: br2025.nuprc.gov.ng,” it added.
The announcement signals the transition of the exercise into one of its most critical phases, as investors compete for opportunities in Nigeria’s upstream sector amid renewed efforts by the government to attract capital and boost hydrocarbon production.
