Following the recent mass transfer of staff by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and the relocation of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has concluded plans to relocate some departments to Lagos from Abuja.

The move will see over 200 staff of the commission moving from Abuja to Lagos, it was learnt.

Recall that the federal government’s decision to relocate some departments of the CBN and the headquarters of FAAN from Abuja to Lagos had stirred controversy and discontent among stakeholders.

The NUPRC, formerly the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), is a department under the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources (FMPR).

It monitors the oil and gas industry to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and laws, as well as oversees the safety and other regulations that relate to the exportation and importation of the products into the country

A senior management source who spoke with Daily Trust said: “The Commission Chief Executive (CCE), Gbenga Komolafe has started making moves to relocate some departments to Lagos.

“He claims that this is to create space for new staff he wants to recruit. This is totally not justifiable as the office was moved to Abuja from Lagos not more than two years ago, and a very big new headquarter building is almost completed.

“So far they are transferring 200 staff of the upstream out of Abuja.”

Located at the strategic Central Business District of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, the new headquarter is a 10-storey building which was approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) in 2020, and was initially scheduled for completion in 24 months.

It spans 4,150 sqm with the main building itself occupying a total ground floor area of approximately 48,400 sqm, comprising a basement and a penthouse.

Effort by our reporter to reach the head of Public Affairs, Mrs Sonola to confirm the rationale for the transfer was not successful as she did not pick or return her calls, neither did she respond to text and Whatsapp messages sent to her phone as at the time of going to press

When Daily Trust contacted the Chief Executive, Gbenga Komolafe, on Tuesday, he said: “Will call and speak with you in few minutes on the issue and general regulatory direction by the NUPRC pls.”

However, 24 hours after, and after calls and sending several reminders, there was response from him.

Let me hear any Northern say peem first.


When Major Gen. M. Buhari was building Railway to Niger Republic and gifting their politicians exotic cars, there was no noise.

Bulaba, even though you're a buffoon to me, abeg carry go. Move everything to Bourdilion like Bullion van.

Waw.

For those blaming APC and president Tinubu for the hardship in the country, are you all aware that UK and Japan are currently in economic recession? Is it APC and Tinubu that is ruling both nations? Nobody should blame APC and Tinubu for the rot the PDP government of Jonathan caused. What we are suffering today is the result of the Jonathan government's recklessness. Peter Obi and his PDP gang brought Nigeria to her knees. May God help our dear president Tinubu to fix the country like he did in Lagos.

This is the true definition of 'it's my turn'. This the new form of nepotism and any new government will start relocating national assets to their state. This country needs to be purged.

If Nigeria survives Tinubu's 8 years, forget it... Nothing can ever break Nigeria again.

Initially, we thought no leader would ever be as worse and cruel as Buhari... But the Devil came through and gave us Tinubu.

With the current level of suffering Nigerians are facing now, Nigerians are really strong.

I think there is no problem with the movement ..If the work is in Lagos...bad as he bad they would do some transaction and Government would collect tax ...

I will say this again


If you have ever gone into CBN and see the way the staff are working and the kind of people there, you will know Nigeria’s problem is deeper than you think.

When you have a sensitive system occupied by incompetent people, people who got the job through slots and nepotism.
Enter cbn office and see their staff watching movies on their laptops, doing little or nothing other than occupying space and earning salaries.

How do you expect such system to function?

Any CBN staff here should prove me wrong, not a single one of them got the job through competency based recruitment. 100% of recruitment is through connection

only a fool will not kw tinubu is working... You will fine if u understand, the format...

Anything to get this country back to the best

Interesting.

At least those online Ronu warriors are seeing why Lagos leads other states. The development here is a collaborative effort. No other state gets such advantage

Great news

Jagaban get balls

An Igbo man holds the key

E remain to move Asọ Rock to Lagos. After all, na one Nigeria

Eko for show

[Good move.

Recession is a relative term, if you have a business that generates N10M per quarter but in the last two quarters, you were only able to generate 9M and 8M respectively, then you are in recession (this is an analogy)

However, if I have a business that does N50k monthly and in the last two quarters, I was able to make N60k and 70k respectively, then I am NOT in recession, even though you are still way wealthier than I am in the example.

So what I am saying is, recessions are different from each other especially when comparing between developed countries and underdeveloped countries

Slow n steady

Arewa wake up

How does this connect to the thread and returning staff to Lagos from Abuja
