PIB: Gov Diri advocates 10 % for host communities
On
Gov Diri
Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa on Tuesday proposed that 10 per cent be provided in the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) for the host communities.
Diri, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Daniel Alabrah, said this on Tuesday in a town hall meeting on the bill with members of the National Assembly and stakeholders in Yenagoa.
The governor said that the 2.5 per cent revenue proposed for the host communities in the PIB was grossly inadequate and unacceptable to the people of the Niger Delta.
He argued that if the National Assembly members saw firsthand, the level of environmental degradation and its attendant effects on the people, they would not hesitate to increase it from 10 per cent.
