The Commission Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, has unveiled an ambitious reform agenda aimed at boosting crude oil production, restoring investor confidence, and positioning Nigeria as a competitive global energy destination.
In her maiden interview published in the latest edition of The Upstream Gaze, a media publication by the commission and obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, Eyesan said the Commission would deploy technology-driven regulation, accelerate approvals, and deepen transparency across licensing and compliance processes.
She outlined a sweeping technology-driven agenda aimed at modernising licensing, strengthening compliance, and restoring investor confidence in Nigeria’s upstream oil and gas sector.
She described the reforms as critical to achieving the Federal Government’s production target of three million barrels per day in the medium term, in line with the agenda of Bola Tinubu.
“This edition of The Upstream Gaze, the first in 2026, chronicles our commitment to ongoing reforms expected to optimise production, accelerate regulatory timelines, strengthen hydrocarbon measurement and revenue assurance, deepen digital transformation, and entrench transparency across licensing and compliance processes,” she stated.
