President Bola Tinubu has moved to replace the leadership of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission following the resignation of its chief executive, Gbenga Komolafe.
Komolafe stepped down from his position as head of the commission, bringing an end to his role at the agency that oversees Nigeria’s upstream oil and gas sector.
The resignation was confirmed on Wednesday through an official statement issued by the presidency and signed by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga.
The change affects the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, a key regulator responsible for exploration and production activities in the country’s petroleum industry.
The decision comes as part of efforts to ensure continuity in the management of the sector and avoid a leadership vacuum at the commission.
To fill the position, Tinubu has written to the Senate, requesting a fast-track confirmation of Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as the new chief executive of the NUPRC.
