By; AHMED MOHAMMED ZAGI



Aminu Zaria's work at the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the regulatory body responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of upstream petroleum operations in Nigeria has in no little measure, contributed to value creation. 



The commission was established in August 2021 following the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021. 

 NUPRC promotes sustainable value creation from Nigeria's petroleum resources. 



His administrative expertise and collaboration skills are essential to the commission's success. With his contributions, NUPRC continues to regulate and develop Nigeria's petroleum industry effectively.

 Aminu Zaria's dedication to his role has earned him recognition within the industry, and his work remains crucial to Nigeria's petroleum sector. His leadership supports the growth and development of the industry.



Aminu Zaria is a prominent figure in Nigeria's petroleum industry, serving as Head of General Administration at the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). 



He oversees administrative functions, ensuring the commission's smooth operation.



Key roles he plays includes, administrative leadership, where he manages NUPRC's administrative affairs, vital to regulating Nigeria's upstream petroleum industry.

He is also involved in facilitating collaboration,  hosting significant meetings, including a tripodal meeting with NUPENG and PENGASSAN on labour issues, as well as  showcasing his ability to facilitate industry dialogue.

His role is not just on the local scene, at the international level, he facilitated international partnerships.



 Aminu Zaria engages in meetings with international partners, such as the University of Calgary, Canada, highlighting NUPRC's commitment to knowledge sharing.



With his ingenuity and dedication, Nigeria's oil and gas sector is making steady progress.



I am of the opinion that such dedicated, patriotic and hard working Nigerians in higher areas of responsibility, will be assets to the country.

With yearnings from several quarters for him to venture into politics so he can serve his people better, Aminu Zaria cannot run away from destiny.

Seeing his past and present contributions to the well being of the downtrodden, it is not  surprising why many are calling on him to venture into politics and provide qualitative representation.

Born in   in Unguwan Shanu, Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna State,  Aminu Zaria has been a source of joy to many in Kaduna State and beyond.

He attended LGA Unguwan Sarki Primary School, from where he proceeded to Government Technical School, Soba between 1977 and 1983. 

Being educational focused, he subsequently  attended polytechnic and university, where he obtained a diploma and a degree.

He is a man of the moment and one for the future, which many see as a beacon of hope in Nigeria's political landscape.

Turaki Adamawa's Endorsement of Fufore Emirate: An Act of Betrayal, Political Strategy, or Self-Demotion?

Considering these factors, one must examine whether Turaki Adamawa’s actions constitute a betrayal of his father and his emirate, a strategic political maneuver for personal gain, or an act of self-diminution to appease influential forces for immediate rew...
