The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission is contemplating relocating some of its units to Lagos.
This was disclosed in a memo dated February 14, 2024.
The move aims to bolster service delivery, trim operational costs, and optimize assets in Lagos.
Dr. Kelechi Onyekachi Ofoegbu, on behalf of the Commission, signed the memo urging departments to identify units capable of independent operation with minimal supervision.
The statement 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 move follows the recent relocation of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) headquarters and CBN departments to Lagos.
