The much anticipated Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is on the path to becoming law as it is currently at the committee stage at the National Assembly – one of the final stages of a bill before it is considered and passed.
The Senate joint committee on Petroleum Upstream, Downstream and Gas concluded its public hearing on the bill on Tuesday, after which its counterpart at the House of Representatives organised a separate hearing for the bill.
The bill was read for the first time at the Senate on September 30 and for the second time three weeks later on October 20 last year.
