The Nigeria Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, NMDPRA, and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), has deepened collaborative efforts towards the effective regulation of the petroleum sector.
This comes as the Authority Chief Executive, of NMDPRA, Mr. Rabiu Abdullahi Umar, led a management team to pay a courtesy visit to the Commission Chief Executive of the NUPRC, Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan in Abuja, on Wednesday.
During the visit, both chief executives discussed areas of mutual interest and reaffirmed their commitment to deepening collaboration in the effective regulation of the petroleum sector in line with the objectives of the Petroleum Industry Act.
A post by the NMDPRA on its official X handle stated that the visit marked Mr. Umar’s first official outing since his appointment as the substantive Authority Chief Executive of NMDPRA.
The meeting also underscored the strong working relationship between the two regulatory institutions in Nigeria’s petroleum industry.
The engagement also highlighted the importance of synergy between NMDPRA and NUPRC in promoting regulatory efficiency, enhancing industry performance, and supporting the sustainable development of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
