Nigerian Energy Activists Protest Proposed Oil Decommissioning Commission
Energy activists, led by Energi Reform Advocates, marched in Abuja to oppose the creation of a new Oil Decommissioning Commission under the proposed NC Dogi Bill 2024. The activists argue that the commission would duplicate the roles of existing regulatory bodies like the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission and the Nigerian Midstream Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority.
They claim the new commission is unnecessary, wasteful, and could deter potential investors, leading to sector confusion. The activists plan to mount pressure on lawmakers to withdraw the bill through petitions and legal challenges, emphasizing the importance of upholding the Petroleum Industry Act.
