The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has set the first quarter of 2027 as the target for the completion of its proposed headquarters, known as The Barrel, in Abuja.
The Commission said the speedy completion of the 10-storey facility would improve its operational efficiency and enhance Nigeria’s appeal to investors in the oil and gas sector.
A statement by NUPRC Head, Media and Corporate Communications, Eniola Akinkuotu explained that The Barrel, located in Abuja’s Central Business District, was initiated in 2020 and is designed to accommodate between 900 and 1,000 people.
