The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has named a seven-member committee to harmonise the different versions of the Petroleum Industry Bill, passed by both chambers of the National Assembly.
He announced this at plenary yesterday.
The Committee is headed by Yahaya Abdullahi (APC, Kebbi North), the Senate Leader.
Other members of the panel are Sabo Nakudu (Jigawa North East), Albert Bassey (Akwa Ibom), Danjuma Goje (Gombe), Opeyemi Bamidele (Ekiti Central), Stella Oduah ( Anambra), and Gabriel Suswan (Benue).
Lawan said: “The conference committee will meet with our counterparts in the House; the House will also announce the composition of the conference committee, and we hope that they will swing into action immediately, so that we are able to have the final document of the PIB which we will transmit for the presidential assent.
“So, we expect our delegation here under the leadership of the Senate Leader to engage with our colleagues in the House of Representatives.”
