Gbenga Komolafe has resigned as the chief executive officer
of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
The resignation was announced in a statement signed by Bayo
Onanuga, presidential spokesperson, on Wednesday.
Onanuga said President Bola Tinubu has written to the senate
for an expedited confirmation of Oritsemeyiwa Amanorisewo Eyesan as Komolafe’s
replacement.
Farouk Ahmed’s resignation as the CEO of the Nigerian
Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) was also
announced by the presidency.
Saidu Aliyu Mohammed was named as the successor to the
embattled Ahmed.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Komolafe as the
CEO of NUPRC in September 2021, after the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) came
into force.
Before his appointment, Komolafe had served as group general
manager, special duties, at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
Limited.
He was also a previous executive director (commercial) at
the Pipelines and Petroleum Marketing Company (PPMC).
Komolafe had also served as general manager, operations,
