The Nigerian House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) has expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), and businessman Aliko Dangote. This vote of confidence comes as Nigeria aims to strengthen its energy security. The committee is also initiating investigations into gas licenses issued by NIPCO and scrutinizing executives within the NNPCL. Lawmakers are simultaneously advocating for increased funding dedicated to pipeline infrastructure. These actions signify a push to bolster the downstream petroleum sector. The committee believes Nigeria is making progress in achieving energy independence, with support from key figures and regulatory bodies. The story originated from Vanguard News in Abuja.
