THE FUTURE OF OGFZA

The dream of the Oil and Gas Free Zones Authority is to be the regulator of reference that can compare with regulators of free trade zones in other jurisdictions such as Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai, etc.

In line with the exceptional performance creed and in partnership with private sector operators using best-in-class PPP model, OGFZA is working to reposition the oil and gas free zones as first ports of call for investors eyeing the Nigeria market.

OGFZA has begun the process of implementing the provisions of its enabling law and Federal Government directives ceding regulatory control of all Oil and Gas Free Zones in the country to OGFZA
