Adelabu Jumoke – Abuja
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) have taken significant steps to enhance revenue collection for the Federation.
The decision followed a meeting held on Monday, January 12, 2026, when the Commission Chief Executive (CCE) of NUPRC, Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan, paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of the NRS, Mr. Zacc Adedeji, at the corporate headquarters of the apex tax agency in Abuja.
Mrs. Eyesan’s visit formed part of her broader engagement with key stakeholders after assuming office as CCE last month.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued yesterday by the Head of Media and Strategic Communications at NUPRC, Mr. Eniola Akinkuotu.
With the implementation of new tax laws that took effect on January 1, 2026, the NRS and NUPRC are expected to collaborate more closely in the collection of oil and gas revenues. At the meeting, both agencies agreed to deepen cooperation in the national interest to ensure the achievement of the revenue targets set by the Federal Government.
