The House of Representatives has issued a call for restraint to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote, and various oil marketers.
The lawmakers have urged all parties to stop making public accusations against each other through the media.
In a recent session, the House emphasized the importance of resolving disputes through appropriate channels rather than engaging in public spats that could further destabilize the oil and gas sector.
The lawmakers highlighted the potential negative impact of such disputes on the nation's economy and the wellbeing of its citizens.
The House's appeal comes amid growing tensions and media exchanges between the regulatory authority, Mr. Dangote, and oil marketers over various industry-related issues.
The representatives stressed the need for constructive dialogue and cooperation to address the challenges facing the sector.
In their statement, the lawmakers urged all involved parties to prioritize the country's interests and work towards solutions that would benefit the Nigerian economy and its people.
The House remains committed to facilitating a peaceful and productive environment for the oil and gas industry.
