Petroleum Commission to relocate key depts to Lagos

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) is considering relocating some of its units to Lagos.

This is contained in a document seen by Thefrontrank on Thursday.

The document dated February 14, said the decision would improve service delivery, lower operating costs and fully utilize its assets in Lagos.

“In line with our objectives of improving organizational efficiency, driving industry growth, and managing office accommodation in Abuja, we are exploring the possibility of relocating certain units to Lagos.

“This initiative is driven by the need to enhance our service delivery, reduce operational costs, and make adequate utilization of our assets in Lagos.

“Consequently, we are requesting that each department identify and provide a list of units that can operate independently with minimal supervision.

“Submissions on the above are expected on or before the close of business on Friday 23rd February 2024. This is submitted for your further necessary action, please,” the document said.
The memo was signed by Dr Kelechi Onyekachi Ofoegbu on behalf of the Commission.
