Senate President Bukola Saraki says the passage of the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill (PIGB) by the National Assembly will help to address the lingering fuel scarcity in the country, once it becomes law.
In a video address posted on his Facebook page, Saraki added that the passage of PIGB represents a historic milestone in the country.
“On Wednesday, after nearly two decades of back-and-forth, near-misses and “near-passages,” the Eight National Assembly finally reached a milestone with the passage of the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill — otherwise known as PIGB. This is historic,” a statement from his Media Office on Thursday.
According to Saraki, beyond praising the passage of the PIGB, the Senate is committed and determined to meet the expectations of Nigerians.
He believes the Senate has demonstrated the will and capacity to deliver on their key promises aimed at rebuilding the national economy and improving the standard of living of the people through its activities.
