The Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission in Nigeria is contemplating the relocation of certain units to Lagos, as outlined in a document disclosed to journalists. Dated February 14, 2024, the memo states that this decision aims to improve service delivery, curtail operational expenses, and optimize assets situated in Lagos.
The memo further emphasizes the commission’s objective of enhancing organizational efficiency, fostering industry growth, and managing office accommodation in Abuja. It calls for departments to identify and submit a list of units capable of independent operation with minimal supervision. The deadline for submissions is set for February 23, 2024.
Dr. Kelechi Onyekachi Ofoegbu, on behalf of the Commission, signed the memo. This move follows the recent relocation of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) headquarters to Lagos.
