Senator Adams Oshiomhole has reacted strongly to the removal of Ahmed Farouk, former Managing Director of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). Speaking on Thursday, Oshiomhole stated that he celebrated the decision, describing it as a victory for job creation in Nigeria.
In his remarks, Oshiomhole criticized individuals who oppose local job creation while favoring importation, saying such positions undermine Nigeria’s economic growth. His comments have stirred debate across political and civic circles, with some supporting his stance on prioritizing local industry, while others caution against the tone of his statement.
The development comes amid ongoing tensions in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, where regulatory decisions continue to shape the balance between domestic production and importation.
