The Rivers State Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, established in 2003, oversees the regulation and management of energy and natural resource activities in the state. With a focus on maximizing the state’s vast energy and resource potential, including its significant oil and gas reserves, the ministry ensures energy needs are met while encouraging participation in both upstream and downstream sectors. Located at the State Secretariat in Port Harcourt, the ministry works closely with federal bodies and other state agencies to promote sustainable energy solutions and resolve conflicts in the sector.
