Undoubtedly, the nation’s oil sector requires regulatory, governance and fiscal legislation that would guide the exploration and exploitation of the nation’s hydrocarbon deposits in a profitable manner. Nume Ekeghe reports that to achieve this, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva and others, especially host communities, have intensified the clamour for the Petroleum Industry Bill given the benefit it portends for Nigeria
The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), which is meant to regulate the entire sphere of the industry has struggled to see the light of day despite its introduction to the National Assembly over 16 years ago.
The clamour for this has persisted due to a number of factors including the agitations by the Niger Delta people for a fair deal in the mining of their mineral endowment often referred to as the Black Gold.
THE PUBLIC SPHERE with Chido Nwakanma
Considerable excitement has attended the entry of the New Year 2021. Much of it comes from relief at the end of the horrible 2020. Eternal hope in the human heart is the other impulse as people wish and pray for a better year.
Caution is a dominant theme. Even the rambunctious seers couched their prognostications in loose and general terms to avoid the serial failure they suffered in 2020. The best that we can venture is to state that 2021 has potential to yield many successes for Nigeria and Nigerians.
Agenda 2021 is the concern of all citizens, for self and for the country.
