What could the proposed amendments to Nigeria’s oil spill regulatory framework mean for businesses in the petroleum sector?

The National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (Establishment) Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025 proposes significant changes to NOSDRA’s regulatory and enforcement powers, including higher penalties for non-compliance, new remediation requirements, expanded oversight of decommissioning activities, enhanced inspection powers and proposed prosecutorial authority. But beyond stronger enforcement, the Bill raises important questions around criminal liability for oil spills, compensation, regulatory overlap between NOSDRA, NUPRC and NMDPRA, and the potential compliance implications for operators.

Our Associates, Hallel-Tobiel Nweze and Henry Idahagbon, examine the key provisions of the Bill and consider the implications for businesses across Nigeria’s petroleum value chain.

Our Senior Partner, Chiagozie Hilary-Nwokonko, Partner, Chukwuyere Izuogu, and Associate, Priscilla Ben-Okoh, have co-authored the Merger Control 2026 guide for Nigeria, published by Chambers and Partners. The guide provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of Nigeria’s merger control regime, covering the applicable legal and regulatory framework, notification thresholds, foreign-to-foreign transactions, joint ventures, merger review procedures, gun-jumping, remedies, third-party participation, confidentiality, appeals, and foreign investment considerations. It also examines the respective roles of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in merger review and enforcement.

Complementing the guide, Merger Control Trends and Developments in Nigeria 2026 provides a high-level analysis of the evolving Nigerian merger control landscape, highlighting the increasing sophistication of the FCCPC’s merger review framework and the growing convergence of competition law with consumer protection, sector regulation and data governance. It examines key developments in merger activity, enforcement priorities, procedural expectations, cross-border transactions, digital markets, foreign investment, and the implications of significant judicial and regulatory developments for transaction planning, ex*****on and compliance.
