The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) on Wednesday received four awards, while its Chief Executive Officer earned special recognition at the 2024 SERVICOM Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs’) Awards event in Abuja recently.
The recognition award conferred on the Commission Chief Executive, Engr. Gbenga Komolafe, the organisers said, was for his commitment to citizen-centered service delivery.
Other awards were to the Head of the NUPRC SERVICOM Unit, Mrs. Ann Ihuoma Dozie-Enukora who received both the 2024 Overall Best Performing Nodal Officer award and the 2024 Best Performing Nodal Officer, PSU Team B award.
In addition, the NUPRC’s SERVICOM Unit was commended for its show of 100% commitment to service delivery in its operations, underscoring the regulatory authority’s consistent dedication to excellence in public service.
The organisers said at the awards presentation event that this year’s awards reflected NUPRC’s ongoing commitment to quality service delivery, as demonstrated in its previous years’ performances.
In 2022 and 2023, the Commission’s Chief Executive received SERVICOM commendations for his leadership in enhancing customer-focused service delivery.
The Commission was also awarded the SERVICOM Partnership Award in 2023.
Mrs. Nnenna Akajemeli, National Coordinator and CEO of SERVICOM, celebrated Engr. Komolafe for his dedication to improving service delivery within the NUPRC.
Akajemeli emphasised the importance of ensuring that Nigerians received timely and quality services from their government agencies.
She also acknowledged the NUPRC SERVICOM Unit for its sustained efforts in delivering excellent customer service.
In October this year, at the 2024 Nigeria GOVTECH Conference and Awards event, the Commission was honoured as the Best Federal MDA in Digital Transformation, while its CCE received the Distinguished Trailblazer Award.
“The NUPRC has demonstrated its commitment to effective service delivery through initiatives such as full automation of statutory approvals and work processes,” the Commission said in a statement in Abuja to announce this year’s awards.
In his reaction, Engr. Komolafe noted that adhering to the SERVICOM charter would further enhance timely and efficient job outputs, reinforce the Commission’s role as a lead regulatory agency in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
He pledged to sustain the drive towards effective service delivery by the Commission in the new year and beyond.
