The Senate has passed the Petroleum Industry Bill known as PIB.
The bill was passed during the plenary on Thursday after careful consideration of each of the clauses.
The Senate before passing the bill met behind closed doors with the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, and the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari.
The passage of the bill comes exactly 13 years after it was first presented to the National Assembly in 2008.
On 28 September 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari presented the PIB to the National Assembly for reconsideration.

He added that the bill got the input of both the executive and legislative arms of government.
