SEN Heineken Lokpobiri PhD Official Handle of the Minister for State Petroleum Resources (Oil).

At the 5th Anniversary Commemoration of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), I reflected on the bottlenecks the Commission faced when the Renewed Hope Administration came into office.

NUPRC was then only two years old, and my guiding conviction was clear: the Commission would not be judged by the number of regulations implemented, but by the number of businesses enabled. Five years on, it can look back with significant achievements.

Nigeria holds vast crude oil reserves, estimated at over 37 billion barrels, but reserves left underground can not translate into jobs, revenue, investment, or development. This is why we have continued to enable businesses, unlock investment, and make the petroleum sector more competitive under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

I commend NUPRC for its work and urge the Commission to keep the fire burning: unlock more barrels, enable more businesses, accelerate investment, and leverage Nigeria’s strategic location to attract greater capital into our country.

Africa Energy Bank (AEB) presents a historic opportunity to advance Africa’s energy security and unlock greater economic prosperity for Nigeria and Nigerians. I commend the Nigerian institutional shareholders for their foresight and investment in this landmark African institution.

At the inaugural meeting of the Forum of Nigerian Institutional Shareholders in the AEB, I emphasized Nigeria’s strategic position in the Bank, as its largest shareholder, Member Country and host of its headquarters. I highlighted the need for our institutional shareholders to advance Nigeria’s national interests within the Bank’s decision-making structures.

I urged the representatives of our five institutional shareholders to maintain close coordination, develop common positions ahead of the Bank’s General Meetings, and ensure that Nigeria derives commensurate value from its investment and significant contribution to the establishment of the AEB.

When Government supports industry growth through a conducive operating environment, clear policy direction, strategic incentives, and effective institutional support, indigenous firms thrive, creating jobs, strengthening economic growth, and driving industry development.

Sahara Group, as a proudly indigenous firm operating in Nigeria’s petroleum sector, has consistently demonstrated the value of local enterprise through sustained expansion and global reach. As one of our exports to the world, we celebrate the Group on its 30th anniversary of service, growth, and impact.

We are proud of Sahara Group’s remarkable success story and its contribution to Nigeria’s economic development. We will continue to support Sahara Group and other indigenous firms with the capacity to grow, innovate, create opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s prosperity.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Chief Judge of Bayelsa State, Hon. Justice Matilda Abrakasa Ayemieye, and the entire Ayemieye family on the painful demise of her beloved husband, Late Elder Freeman Ebimieowei Ayemieye.

His legacy of faith, love, and service will remain a lasting testament to a life well lived. May you find comfort in the assurance that, having faithfully served the Lord, he is now at peace with Him.

I pray that Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest and gives the entire family the fortitude, strength, and comfort to bear this irreparable loss.

The moments at the Dinner & Award Night in celebration of Bayelsa @ 30 were not merely about conviviality; they were a profound acknowledgement of the sacrifices of our founding leaders, the commitment of every Bayelsan, and our collective determination to keep moving forward.

As the pioneer Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, I have watched our dear State grow from faith to grace, surmounting the challenges that dared confront us. I am particularly encouraged that our people have remained united in the pursuit of the common good.

Today, we have rekindled the fire for growth, renewed our desire for stability, and strengthened our resolve to preserve the peace that has sustained our progress.

With the commitment of every Bayelsan, we will continue to propel our dear State to enviable heights. This is our creed; this is our shared responsibility.
