Civil groups mobilise for rally as Senate considers PIB today

PoorBest ACTIVISTS and students have mobilised over 500 Nigerians to put pressure on the Senate to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).
The rally, which holds in Abuja today, will coincide with the Upper House debate on the planned law today.
The rally will be held in the front of the National Assembly complex, as members have resolved to sit at the complex as the Senate considers the document.
Last Tuesday, the Senate deferred action on the bill when some members pointed out technical issues. It agreed to list the bill for consideration today.
The PIB seeks to further open up the Nigerian petroleum industry for more investments by reviewing subsisting terms drafted over 40 years
ago. It is designed to bring about transparency, public accountability and equity with regards to ownership and derivation.
Co-ordinators of the coalition, David Ugolor and Abiola Afolabi, told journalists in Lagos yesterday that the delay in passing the bill was costing Nigeria billions of the dollars due to corruption, lack of transparency and accountability with the current fiscal regime in the industry.
The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke, had said Nigeria would generate over $680 billion yearly if the bill was passed and implemented.
Ugolor said the protest was planned to put pressure on the National Assembly to accelerate action on the bill.
He asked President Goodluck Jonathan to co-operate with the Legislature to ensure the passage of the bill before the end of his current tenure, adding that the President had not shown enough commitment to the passage of the bill.
They accused the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of sabotaging efforts at passing the bill for selfish interest, saying: “This is a clarion call on the Presidency, National Assembly and both local and international oil companies to support the quick passage of the bill and ignore the antics of the NNPC, which has been working against the planned law and has delayed the process for too long in their selfish interest.”

Southern Senators rally support for PIB

POSTED ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH, 2013
By Sola Shittu, Snr Correspondent, Abuja
Senators from the southern part of the country have embarked on a move to save the beleaguered Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) in the National Assembly.
Daily Independent findings revealed that the Senators have decided to engage the services of consultants who will educate them on the technical aspects of the bill.
Although their counterparts from the North are kicking against it, a source said Senators from the South are insisting that the bill has no sectional agenda.
“We want consultants to come and brief us on the technical areas of the bill. There are so many parts that needed interpretation and we cannot do this by ourselves; so we are inviting experts to do it for us.”
Another source also disclosed that apart from the PIB, the issue of constitution review and 2013 budget is concentrating the minds of the Senators.
Daily Independent also gathered that the Southern Senators have resolved to trash out any contentious clause in the PIB with their Northern colleagues to ensure speedy passage.
“The Senators are keen on passing the bill; all of us have since received copies and I believe that by now virtually everybody must have gone through it,” the source said.
The PIB failed to scale through in the sixth National Assembly due to what members called multiplicity of versions. Various attempts to harmonise the versions failed.
Although the bill was already at the Second Reading stage in the House of Representatives, it could not be completed before the 2011 elections.
Consequently, the PIB was returned to the Presidency for re-presentation to the seventh National Assembly.
The PIB is to deal with the critical sectors of the petroleum industry and provide a guideline for using proceeds from the industry to develop other sectors of the economy.
Southern Senators have met twice this week in the Senate with the PIB topping the agenda. The Source: The Daily Independent. Friday, February, 15, 2013.
