[Leadership] The Urhobo Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta has warned the federal government and oil companies that it would no longer accept "deliberate, systematic and oppressive exclusion" of its people from the management and administration of Nigeria's petroleum sector.
[Premium Times] The Nigerian oil and gas industry has frequently been in the news for various reasons. Decades before the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) was enacted in August 2021, the country's oil and gas exploration sector faced significant challenges due to unclear rules, changing policies and low investor confidence.

[Leadership] The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has opened a 90-day fast-track window for approving oil wells, Field Development Plans (FDPs), rig mobilisations, and other quick-win opportunities, to meet the two million barrels per day (mbpd) and three mbpd crude oil production targets for 2027 and 2030 respectively.
