The Senate and House of Representatives are to harmonise positions on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), in order to produce a final version of the much-talked-about legislation by the 9th National Assembly.
Already, the Senate President Ahmad Lawan, has announced the composition of the Senate conference committee on the PIB.
Members of the committee include the Senate Leader Yahaya Abdullahi as chairman; Senators Mohammed Sabo (North-West); Albert Bassey Akpan (South South); Danjuma Goje (North-East); Opeyemi Bamidele (South-West); Stella Oduah (South-East), and Gabriel Suswam (North-Central).
Lawan said: “The conference committee will meet with our counterparts in the House, the House will also announce the composition of the conference committee, and we hope that they will swing into action immediately, so that we are able to have the final document of the PIB which we will transmit for the presidential assent.
“So, we expect our delegation here under the leadership of the Senate Leader to engage with our colleagues in the House of Representatives.”
