The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has announced its decision to relocate some of its units to Lagos with the aim of reducing operational costs and ensuring enhanced service delivery.
This move follows the recent relocation of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the significant transfer of staff from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to Lagos.
In a memo titled “Movement to Lagos,” dated February 14, the upstream commission stated that this relocation would enable them to make optimal use of their assets in Lagos.

“In line with our objectives of improving organizational efficiency, driving industry growth, and managing office accommodation in Abuja, we are exploring the possibility of relocating certain units to Lagos.
This initiative is driven by the need to enhance our service delivery, reduce operational costs, and make optimal use of our assets in Lagos,” it explained.
Consequently, the commission has requested each department to identify and provide a list of units that can operate independently with minimal supervision.
