Engr. Gbenga Komolafe, the Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), has firmly refuted allegations of a N32 billion revenue leakage within the commission.
Testifying before the House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee, Komolafe clarified that NUPRC strictly operates under the guidelines established by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021 and fully adheres to the Federation Accounts framework, ensuring transparent fund management.
Komolafe explained that NUPRC’s role does not involve direct handling of federal revenue. Instead, the commission enforces remittance procedures, with oil production royalties directed to a dedicated account at JP Morgan, to which NUPRC has no access. This setup underscores NUPRC’s limited involvement in managing funds, further reducing the risk of financial mismanagement.
He highlighted that NUPRC’s commitment to transparency and professionalism has strengthened investor confidence. As a result, TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne recently pledged increased investment in Nigeria, reflecting the regulator’s positive impact. This investment pledge aligns with growing international confidence in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, illustrated by active bids in the ongoing oil block licensing round.

Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.
Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.
The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?
If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.
