The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) on Wednesday bagged the Excellence Award at the Annual Nigeria Oil and Gas (NOG) Award Ceremony.

A statement issued on Thursday by Mr Paul Osu, Head, Public Affairs, DPR said the award was received by the Director of DPR, Mr Sarki Auwalu.

The statement said the award was presented to the regulatory agency for its achievements which included the establishment of the National Oil and Gas Excellence Centre, in Lagos inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari in January.

It said the DPR also got the recognition for successfully completing the bidding for 57 marginal oilfields in the country which helped the Federal Government to shore up its revenue.

According to the statement, the organisers of the award noted that the department's transformation from a regulator to a business enabler in the oil and gas space is what Nigeria needs to maximise the potential of the sector.

Responding, Auwalu thanked the organisers for the recognition, stressing that it would spur the DPR to greater heights.

The Director said DPR would continue to
 create opportunities that enable 
businesses and investments for all stakeholders by using its service instruments of  licenses that guarantee  investments, permits that enable participation and approvals that authorise activities
