Senate receives report on Petroleum Industry Bill, to consider Thursday
The report was laid during plenary by Chairman of the Joint
Committee, Senator Sabo Mohammed (APC, Jigawa South-West).
President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, after the report was
laid, told lawmakers that the report would be considered on Thursday this week.
He, therefore, mandated the Joint Committee to provide
lawmakers with copies of the bill ahead of its consideration to enable them to study its content.
Lawan said: “Let me use the opportunity to thank our Joint
Committee for working so hard, selflessly and patriotically to produce the
report on the Petroleum Industry Bill.
“This report, a copy each, must be made available to each
and every Senator today, this afternoon.
“I don’t know how the Committee would arrange it, but every
Senator must have a copy today.
“[And] we would be considering the report on Thursday.
“So, we have today, tomorrow until the beginning of Thursday
to look at the report, so that when we consider it, we will be doing so on the
basis of what we have been able to read from this very important report.”
