The Senate gave a unanimous thumbs-up Friday to President Tinubu’s picks, confirming Saidu Mohammed as NMDPRA CEO and Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan as NUPRC head—unlocking fresh leadership for Nigeria’s midstream/downstream and upstream petroleum regs under the 2021 PIA for five-year terms packed with promise.
Joint Petroleum Committee chair Sen Kawu Sumaila detailed the grilling sessions that vetted their chops, expertise and answers, paving a smooth Committee of the Whole nod via voice vote—Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau hailed the speedy probe and charged the duo to super-serve the nation’s oil game with diligence.
This nod amps regulatory muscle amid Tinubu’s energy reforms, eyeing efficiency, oversight and sector strength to fuel economic wins—just what Naija needs from its crude cash cows.
