President Bola Tinubu has nominated new leadership for Nigeria’s oil regulatory agencies following the resignation of previous chiefs, Reuters reported. The reshuffle comes amid a dispute involving Dangote Group over fuel imports and pricing, according to Business Day.
The new appointees are expected to restore stability in the sector, strengthen regulatory oversight, and ensure alignment with the federal government’s energy and investment priorities, CNBC Africa highlighted.
Industry analysts say the move could smooth relations between regulators and major operators, while signaling Tinubu’s intent to reinforce governance in Nigeria’s oil sector, according to local media outlets.
