Nigeria’s oil and gas sector is entering a new phase, but what does the latest policy direction mean in practice?

In this article, our Raymond Ofagbor and Brilliant Oziwo examine the Presidential Executive Order on Safeguarding Federation Oil and Gas Revenues and Providing Regulatory Clarity (2026) and its far-reaching implications for the industry.

The Order introduces notable shifts, from the redirection of key petroleum revenues to the Federation Account to new approaches aimed at improving regulatory coordination and oversight. It also raises important questions around how these changes interact with existing provisions under the Petroleum Industry Act and what this means for stakeholders across the value chain.

What does this mean for investment structures, regulatory certainty, and the future of key funding mechanisms in the sector?
