What you need to know about Nigeria’s Petroleum Industry Bill.

Crude oil dominates Nigeria’s economy, accounting for around 90% of export earnings. #NigeriaNeedsPIB

The country has the largest oil and gas reserves in sub-Saharan Africa with an estimated 37bn barrels of oil and 188 trillion cubic feet of gas. #NigeriaNeedsPIB

Yet for decades, the virtually ungovernable industry has been plagued by poor leadership, eye-watering corruption and environmental degradation. #NigeriaNeedsPIB

The Petroleum Industry Bill is perhaps the most talked about piece of legislation in Nigeria given the far reaching reforms which it proposes to an industry which is the single most significant contributor to the national economy. #PIBIsOverdue

Originally introduced in December 2008, the bill has undergone numerous revisions and has been the subject of intense debate. #PIBIsOverdue

In an attempt to restructure the oil and gas industry, the Oil and Gas Sector Reform Implementation Committee (OGIC) was inaugurated on 24 April 2000 under the chairmanship of Dr. Rilwanu Lukman (then serving as the Presidential Adviser on Petroleum and Energy) #PIBIsOverdue

Rather than focus on the core objective of petroleum industry reforms, the actors have resorted to endless political gamesmanship to secure the greatest advantage for their respective constituencies. #NASSPassPIB

These were never the objectives of petroleum industry reforms. In the end both the nation and its constituent parts have suffered the consequence of stalemate. The zero-sum approach has yielded no winners. #NASSPassPIB

Fortunately, everyone agrees that the petroleum sector in is desperate need of reforms, and that the PIB is a crucial piece of legislation. #NASSPassPIB

Asides professionals and some politicians who are aware of the contentious bill by the name PIB, others do not understand what the PIB is about.

Let me break it down #NASSGiveUsPIB

PIB is a bill that, when passed as an Act, becomes the master reference law that governs the Nigerian petroleum industry – from the upstream division (exploratory, development and production activities) #NASSGiveUsPIB
