We need this bill passed like yesterday.

''Committees" are one of the major problems of Nigeria These people will be inaugurated, paid fat sitting allowances, drive in big jeeps (Purchased by Government), Live in government houses, eat government food, etc , at the end of the day they will come up with some hopeless "recommendations" which will be presented to the minister and then dumped in the dust-bin. I sorry for Nigeria

TUC president peter esele is among the commitee members

Can you help me suggest one way in which the executive could speed up the passage of the bill which is in purvey of the legislative arm??
I want practical suggestion not the regular empty complaints!!

NA WAO, dem no fit pick people outside govt?? welll lets see what they have in mind, we are watching

I hope the version they have is the one that will benefit Nigeria as a whole.

asap,

Please, any link to the version or how can I get the version they want to pass?

The most important thing is the PIB version they want to pass, that's the reason it wasn't passed for a long time.

How can we see the version?

If they have to set up a new committee comprised of new people just to speed up the passage of a bill, it makes you wonder what are the duties of our senators and congressmen.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with setting up a committee. The problem here, however, is that the committee is comprised of third parties who are not elected officials. The members of the committee should have been selected from sitting senators and congressmen, and they should have expedited the passage of this bill, which is what they are paid to do. If you don't know, they are paid to discuss bills and pass them into laws, if possible. The committee may summon experts to help them explain complexities in the bill, if necessary.

Setting up committee comprising of third parties is a waste of government funds, as each member of the committee will want a fat salary, a maid, a jeep, a generator, diesel allowance, pounded yam allowance, ashy allowance, etc, just to pass a simple bill  that could have been passed my our elected congressmen and senators.

I bet these useless people st up committee to shittt inside toilet, Lazy and incompetent people can not do anything without committee and wasting money all over the place.


Next time people vote, they might as well vote for committee instead of these losers,

The Oil majors are the main antagonists of the PIB and I have often wondered how Diezani (a Shell staff on Sabbatical) can be seen as the one to speed up its passage. Anytime we hear committee in these parts we know it’s another way of burying stuff in thick layers of govt. bureaucracy!

Can anyone help to get taxforce in charge of petroleum number, the filling stations in our area sango and it's environment fail to return to 97 naira, they are still sell at the rate of 140

So much noise, little or no action. Whatever happened to deadlines for gas flaring. now PIB, P.H Refiner, etc

I would like to beg Nigerian not to listen to NLC & TUC next time they call for strike, you can see how they used us to feather their hat. Who will go against corruption in Nigeria since NLC & TUC are now involved. Lets rise up and take our destiny in our hands
