The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has warned the public against activities of fraudulent individuals who peddle contract offers purportedly on its behalf.
Eniola Akinkuotu, Head, Corporate Communication and Media of the NUPRC, made this known in a statement on Monday.
He said these unscrupulous individuals used tactics such as name-dropping and misinformation on social media to deceive members of the public.
According to Akinkuotu: “They do so with the sole intention of extorting money from them and are hereby warned to desist from such acts.”
To set the record straight, he said, all contracts being processed at the NUPRC were done transparently and strictly in line with the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and other extant regulations.

He added: “Therefore, anyone who transacts with a third party in order to gain an imaginary undue advantage within the NUPRC does so solely at their own risk.
“For information on any procurement, visit the NUPRC website – www.nuprc.gov.ng – or local newspapers for tenders to bid.”
