Civil society organisations in Akwa Ibom State have called for the unbundling of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission to improve efficiency and accelerate development in oil-producing host communities.

The groups, operating under the Fair Finance Nigeria Coalition, made the demand in a communiqué issued at the end of a two-day advocacy workshop for traditional rulers on impact assessments in oil-producing regions.
