The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has disclosed its decision to relocate some of its units to Lagos.
As outlined in a memo dated February 14, 2024, and shared with Channels Television, the commission noted that it aims to bolster service delivery, trim operational expenses, and optimize asset utilization in Lagos.
The memo which was signed by Dr Kelechi Onyekachi Ofoegbu on behalf of the Commission read, “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.”
This development follows the recent move of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) headquarters to Lagos.
