Senate Set to Confirm Tinubu’s Nominees for NMDPRA and NUPRC as Urgency Provisions of Petroleum Industry Act Are Invoked
The Nigerian Senate is expected to confirm President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for the leadership of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) following their screening by the Committee of the Whole. Engineer Saidu Muhammad was nominated to head the NMDPRA, while Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan was named as Chief Executive of the NUPRC, after the resignation of the agencies’ former heads. Tinubu urged expedited confirmation, citing the urgency provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act and warning against a leadership vacuum in Nigeria’s sensitive oil and gas regulatory sector. The nominations come amid heightened scrutiny of the petroleum regulators, including corruption allegations against the immediate past NMDPRA chief.
