PIA: DPR Scrapped As Senate Confirms NURC Board Members by etokhana: 2:43pm On Oct 06, 2021
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed the appointment of board members of the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission.

The confirmation of the nominees followed the consideration of a report by the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources.

The new agency has automatically replaced the Department of Petroleum Resources because the commission would take over its responsibilities.

The nominees confirmed include Isa Modibbo – Chairman; Gbenga Komolafe – Chief Executive; Hassan Gambo – Executive Commissioner, Finance and Accounts; and Rose Ndong – Executive Commissioner, Exploration and Acreage Management.

Chairman of the Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), Senator Albert Akpan, in his presentation, said that the nominees demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the workings of the petroleum industry, especially the upstream petroleum sector, as well as the economics of petroleum exploration and production.


He added that the appointments of the nominees satisfy the requirements of Sections 11 and 18 (1-5) of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021.

According to the lawmaker, “there are no adverse reports against the nominees as record checks and other forms of investigations by security agencies did not reveal any negative trace against them.”

Akpan stated that the Committee was satisfied about the qualifications, experience, suitability, competence and integrity of the nominees to assume the position of Chairman, Chief Executive and Executive Commissioners of the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission.

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, said the establishment of the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission would provide a foundation for the stabilisation of the petroleum industry in Nigeria.

He also said the confirmation of the NURC board has automatically led to the scrapping of the Department of Petroleum Resources as the new commission will take over its responsibilities.

He said, “The Regulatory Commission has the enormous and huge responsibility of setting and establishing the Commission as provided in the Petroleum Industry Act.

“They have the unenviable responsibility of ensuring that they commit themselves and work hard to provide the solid and stable foundation for that matter, that they don’t waste any time because time is of essence.

“The implication of the approval of board members for the commission is that the Department of Petroleum Resources has ceased to exist.”

“The Petroleum Industry will go through a reform process and the process has already started.


“This Commission is one of the huge arms of those reforms that will stabilize the petroleum industry in Nigeria.

“While the Senate confirms them, we expect nothing less than commitment and patriotism on their side.

“The Senate wishes them the best and a very fruitful tenure as they take their offices.

“We expect that the other regulatory authority for downstream and midstream will also be confirmed as soon as possible, so they also start their work immediately.”

Old wine in a new bottle.

Not so. It's old wine in an old bottle with a new label.

Nonsensical nonsense.

Give the Oil to the owners. Simple. Thieves.

TY Danjuma, Modupe Alakija, Mohammed Ndimi, Bola Tinubu, Aliko Dangote, Danatat and Sao, Adenuga, Femi Ote$, Atiku Abubakar, IBB, Abdulsalam Abubakaar, Authur Eze, Emekar Offor and other non-ND should never ever own Oil wells in Niger Delta. They should not raking in billions of dollars from ND Oil without doing any work while ND girls and boys are working for these Oil looters as house boys and house girls.

Do Northern farmers, Yoruba farmers, Middle Belt farmers and Igbo farmers all harvest their crops and give the harvest to Niger Delta? Or do Fulani herdsmen walk their Cows from the North to the South to give them to Niger Deltans for FREE? That is generational looting. All the people that are involved in this will not die well.

Another abokii commission to steal from the south. Niger Deltans would avoid this news and blame IPOB for their miserable existence.

It should not just end with replacing DPR with NURC. Burning issues that PIA was mearnt to address in the area of regulation include: 1. Autonomy of the regulatory body. 2. Making the regulatory body measure up with its counterpart like API (American Petroleum Institute). 3. Dicotomy of upstream and downstream regulation of the petorleum sector.
