The PSCs were awarded to a consortium in a transparent bid process supervised by NUPRC.

The deal signifies a milestone in Nigeria's oil reform journey under the leadership of Gbenga Komolafe, the commission's chief executive. The PSC framework, crafted in line with the Petroleum Industry Act, has restored credibility and investor confidence in the sector.
