The Chief Executive of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Engr. Saidu Aliyu Mohammed, alongside members of his management team has paid a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital.
The visit according to the NMDPRA aims to strengthening institutional collaboration between the two regulators in recognition of their strategic roles in Nigeria’s energy landscape.
Discussions focused on enhancing synergy between the power and gas sectors to support national economic growth and energy security.
Speaking during the meeting, both parties emphasised that as regulators of two critical sectors of the economy, there is a strategic need for continuous engagement and coordinated strategies to develop practical solutions that will move their respective sectors forward.
The NERC Chairman, Dr. Musiliu Oseni in his remarks welcomed the visit, noting that closer cooperation between the electricity and petroleum regulators would promote policy coherence, operational efficiency, and sustainable development across the energy value chain.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to deepen collaboration and explore joint initiatives that will advance the growth and stability of Nigeria’s power sector.
The two regulatory bodies recently got new leadership structures following the approval and appointment of new leadership teams for both the NMDPRA and NERC by President Bola Tinubu.
