ABUBAKAR Bukola Saraki, the president of the Senate, on Wednesday, March 28, commended his colleagues in the 8th National Assembly for the passage of the Conference Committee Report of the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill.

Speaking after its passage, the president of the Senate said: “The challenge will and has always been on the need to get consensus on an issue as important as this one. However, today’s passage of this Conference Committee Report on the PIGB will also lay the foundation for the other Bills that are coming.

“We have once again shown investors both within and outside the country that this National Assembly is very responsible in the areas that have to do with the laws that govern our petroleum sector. I am sure that we will hopefully get the assent of Mr. President and open a new page in Nigeria’s petroleum industry,” Saraki said.
