In a landmark session held in Abuja on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, leaders from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and NNPC Energy Services Limited (ENSERV) pledged to deepen their joint efforts within the oil and gas industry. 

Both parties expressed their commitment to cultivating a productive and results-oriented partnership that will support Nigeria’s energy objectives.

Engr. Gbenga Komolafe, the Commission Chief Executive, welcomed the delegation from ENSERV, which was at the Commission's headquarters to introduce the organisation's new management team led by the Managing Director, Sotonye Pinnick.

During the meeting, ENSERV, according to a press release issued by the Corporate Communications unit of NUPRC, expressed a strong commitment to collaborating with NUPRC, particularly in the exploration of frontier basins. 

This initiative, Newsmart gathered, is crucial for enhancing Nigeria’s hydrocarbon reserves and improving the nation’s energy security.

Engr. Komolafe, the release further disclosed, congratulated the new leadership and emphasised the importance of regulatory cooperation as mandated by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021. 

He urged ENSERV to stay aligned with global energy transition trends, prioritise innovation and operate with a strong environmental consciousness. Additionally, he highlighted the necessity of executing their budget plans promptly.

The meeting had both parties committing to fostering a productive and results-driven partnership that will support Nigeria’s energy objectives. 

The collaboration signifies a forward-thinking approach to addressing the challenges and opportunities in the energy sector.

By strengthening their collaboration, NUPRC and NNPC ENSERV aim to unlock new opportunities, streamline regulatory processes, and bolster the nation’s capacity to maximize the value of its hydrocarbon resources. 

This partnership is expected to catalyze positive developments, ensuring that Nigeria remains at the forefront of Africa’s evolving energy sector.
