He said the oil and gas regulator would continue to foster collaboration, influence, facilitate, enable and promote industry growth, all for economic growth and in overriding national interest.

Auwalu further stated that the DPR would contemplate five broad areas where the nation’s oil and gas industry needed fortification to support national economic stability and growth.

He listed the five broad areas as Legal, Institutional, Financial, In-sector Diversification, and Indigenous Capacity adding that with the focused leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and the guidance of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, the key fundamentals for industry growth were being emplaced.
