Group calls for immediate passage of PIB

Some factors have been attributed to the slow operational activities in the oil and gas industry. Apart from the Niger Delta unrest which includes vandalization of oil pipelines and kidnapping of oil workers industry analysts say that non passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) may have significantly forestalled oil exploration in Nigeria.

Speaking during a monthly technical meeting in Lagos, the President, Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), Jide Ojo, stated that until the government of the day wakes up to the responsibility of providing an enabling environment in terms of provision of adequate infrastructure, good legislation including the passage of the bill, banking, communication and peace in the Niger Delta region, no meaningful economic stability would be sustained.
