Southern Govs Reject 30% Profit Share For Oil Exploration In Northern Nigeria by Nobody: 8:10pm On Jul 05, 2021
Southern governors, on Monday, rejected the proposed allocation of at least 30 per cent of the profit generated by the proposed Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited for the exploration of oil in ‘frontier basins’ as identified by Section 9 of the recently passed Petroleum Industry Bill.

The bill will regulate the oil sector if signed by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Although the proposed law doesn’t identify the frontier basins, a statement by the President in 2019 identified the frontier basins as Chad Basin, Gongola Basin, Sokoto Basin, Dahomey Basin, Bida Basin, Benue Trough, amongst others.

Currently, crude oil is obtained from eight states in the Niger Delta region which include: Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers States.

In a communiqué issued today at the end of their meeting in Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos State, the governors commended “the National Assembly for the progress made in the passage of the PIB”. The communiqué was signed by the Governor of Ondo State and Chairman, Southern Governors’ Forum, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN.

The communiqué partly read, “The Forum rejects the proposed 3% and support the 5% share of the oil revenue to the host community as recommended by the House of Representatives;

“The forum also rejects the proposed 30% share of profit for the exploration of oil and gas in the basins.



“The forum rejects the ownership structure of the proposed Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited. The Forum disagrees that the company be vested in the Federal Ministry of Finance but should be held in trust by Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority since all tiers of Government have stakes in that vehicle.”

The recently passed PIB has been heavily criticised by stakeholders in Southern Nigeria with the Pan-Niger Delta Forum describing its provisions as “unjust, satanic and provocative”.

At least, if there is anything I would boast of Buhari's administration, it's the Southern governors' recent unity.

Good!!

I support the motion
They are not only parasitic but becoming greedy

Who asked you to breed like rats that you want to get 30% to spend on the unfortunate urchins that comes from your loins

Since 2016 when you started your unfortunate search for oil, only 1 litre has not surfaced. Instead the phantom search ended with covid-19

Now you want to use your barren land to pilfer other people's resources

May 30 gallons of oil choke you all.

Parasites!!

The whole idea is for the PIB never to be passed.. why would any sane person put 30% profit on exploration of oil in selected basins secluded to the north while 3% goes to oil communities?..

It's just a means to bring it back to the drawing board for another 10years.
