NMDPRA Unveils New Import License Procedures

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority – NMDPRA, has unveiled new regulations to simplify the process of obtaining petrol import licences and other operational regulations in the industry into a single document.

NMDPRA stated that previous regulations, administered by the defunct Department of Petroleum Resources concerning midstream and downstream operations, have been revoked.

The proposed 2024 Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Operations Regulations will enable the Authority to reduce the complexities of navigating and implementing numerous regulations in the petroleum industry.

The Managing Director of the NMDPRA, FAROUK AHMED, speaking at a stakeholder engagement on the proposed operations regulations in Abuja, said the event was in accordance with Section 216 of the Petroleum Industry Act, which mandates consultation with stakeholders prior to the finalisation of regulations under the Act.

Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra Has Described Absolute Autonomy for Local Government as an Impossibility

The Anambra State Governor, and former CBN boss; CHUKWUMA SOLUDO has described absolute autonomy for local government areas in Nigeria as impossibility, insisting that it will be a recipe for chaos.

Governor SOLUDO made the assertion while signing the Local Government Administration Law in Awka, the state capital, yesterday.

According to him, the attendant challenges before the issue of local government autonomy are such that would certainly deepen the fate of the system and spell doom for the expected beneficiaries of the process.

He noted that the new laws enacted by the Anambra House of Assembly are therefore consequential to give operational life to the Supreme Court judgment and not to undermine it.

Governor SOLUDO stressed that the challenge ahead will be daunting given the quantum rise in wage bills because of the new minimum wage, as well as consequential rise in future pension/gratuity payments.
