President of the League of Civil Society Groups, Mohammed Basah, has praised the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) for what he called “world-class regulatory competence” in the management of Nigeria’s post-subsidy petroleum system.
Basah, who spoke at a briefing in Abuja, cautioned that sustained attacks on the NMDPRA and its leadership could discourage potential investors and destabilise regulatory progress.

“We must not discourage investors who are beginning to show renewed confidence in Nigeria’s energy sector. NMDPRA under Engr. Farouk Ahmed has created a competitive and transparent playing field. What we need now is support — not sabotage,” Basah emphasised.
He highlighted key achievements of the agency, including reforms that ended fuel subsidy fraud, standardized fuel quality, and improved investor confidence in modular refineries and fuel distribution.
