The National Orientation Agency (NOA) says the deregulation of the downstream sector of the petroleum industry will create more job opportunities for Nigeria’s youths.
The Kaduna State Director of NOA, Zubairu Galadima-Soba, speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, said the deregulation policy was aimed at opening the petroleum sector for a healthy competition where market prices reflected market realities, thereby encouraging competition.
According to him, the policy will encourage foreign investors to come into the sector, create jobs, and bring in infrastructure development.

He added that the NOA had embarked on sensitisation campaigns across all 23 local government areas of Kaduna to deepen the knowledge of citizens and enlist their support for the policy.
He also added that already, the agency had taken the message to traditional leaders’ offices, religious worship centres, village squares, motor parks, markets, and communities.
