Nigeria: Why Some Senators Are Against PIB, Says Saraki

By Isiaka Wakili, 15 February 2013

Some senators are against the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) because the bill is addressing so many things at the same time, Senator Bukola Saraki (PDP, Kwara Central) has said.

Addressing journalists at the National Assembly Complex on Wednesday, Saraki said: "the problem with the PIB is that there are so many things that are taken at the same time.

"Rather than condemn the PIB in its entirety, we should have taken administrative and institutional framework instead of dumping it for political reason," he said.
