The article discusses how recent changes in Nigeria's oil sector, led by President Bola Tinubu, are helping to revive offshore oil projects that had been inactive for almost ten years. Industry leaders say that new policies are making it easier for companies to start and manage projects, allowing them to act more quickly without waiting for lengthy approvals. Etta Agbor, a CEO in the oil industry, explained that the new rules let companies make decisions on smaller projects (up to 10 million dollars) without needing to go through complicated approval processes. This change has enabled companies to respond faster to opportunities. He also mentioned that one company, Heirs Energies, has significantly increased its oil production without needing to drill new wells, thanks to innovative methods. Another expert, Bank-Anthony Okoroafor, noted that as activity in the industry picks up, there is a growing need for skilled workers to fill jobs. Overall, the reforms are seen as a positive step for Nigeria's oil industry.
