Nigeria: Petroleum Industry Bill
President of the Senate Nigeria, Dr. Ahmad Lawan yesterday said that the ninth Senate will commence legislative works on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).
Lawan has also given an assurance that the Senate will deliver on its Ninth legislative agenda before politicking for 2023 polls starts in 2022. Lawan said the Senate is conscious of the need to act very fast before the 2023 politics start to slowdown governance.
The Senate President said by the time the lawmakers return from their break in January, the Petroleum Industry Bill which appeared to have defied passage and the constitutional amendment, which is a continuous exercise will be addressed.
The Senate President spoke at the End of Year Get-Together/Award ceremony, which was organised by the Senate management for the staff of the Senate.
"The mode of operation of this current Senate is: we don't give space. We don't create any space in the middle. We just want it done and done away with it," he said.
