House Of Representatives steps down Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB
The House of Representatives has stepped down the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill after an hour-long closed-door session.
Earlier in the day, lawmakers from the South-South had opposed the harmonized PIB allocation to host communities pegged at three percent. The Southern lawmakers had insisted that the percentage be increased to five as against the three percent pushed in the bill. A debate by the lawmakers on the percent allocated for host communities led to a rowdy session.
Of course, but most of their leaders are not using this money judiciously
That’s good, we hope that good things will come out of it
that is some good news for now…….
Good of them with this step
Why can’t the host community be given 5%? This is bad
