Court orders NMDPRA to grant fuel importation licenses to...







原文原文 / Original Text

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to “continue to grant” petroleum product import licences to three major oil marketers—Matrix Energy, AA Rano, and AYM Shafa—in line with relevant laws.

Justice Inyang Ekwo made the order in his judgment on Monday, holding that the NMDPRA’s refusal to issue licences to the three oil marketers was in “direct non-compliance” with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).

Among other reliefs, the lawyers to the three companies, Raji Ahmed, SAN, and Chris Ekemezie, Esq., sought a declaration that the regime of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021, does not outlaw or ban the importation of petroleum products into Nigeria and neither does it preclude or prohibit the NMDPRA from granting licences to eligible importers or renewing same for the importation of petroleum products into Nigeria.

In delivering his judgment, the judge observed that the case was founded on the refusal of the NMDPRA to issue and renew petroleum import licences to the plaintiffs.

According to the judge, the “consequence of non-compliance” with the PIA and relevant laws makes any exercise by the authority in respect of import licences “null and void.”

The judge subsequently held that the plaintiffs had successfully established their claim against the NMDPRA, adding that the case succeeded on its merits.
