presidency:
President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the Petroleum Industry Bill 2021 into law.

Working from home in five days quarantine as required by the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 after returning from London on Friday August 13, the President assented to the Bill Monday August 16, in his determination to fulfill his constitutional duty.
Southern political leaders and politicians are just bunch of noise makers and total disgrace.
The ceremonial part of the new legislation will be done on Wednesday, after the days of mandatory isolation would have been fulfilled.

The Petroleum Industry Act provides legal, governance, regulatory and fiscal framework for the Nigerian petroleum industry, the development of host communities, and related matters.

The Senate had passed the Bill on July 15, 2021, while the House of Representatives did same on July 16, thus ending a long wait since early 2000s, and notching another high for the Buhari administration.

1.I am not blaming anyone.

2.I am stating the reality. We are not a rich nation. We are a resource dependent nation. A dutch diseased nation.

3.I would vote for the person , whoever the party, who is ready to face the reality of our poverty and take measures to improve it...by not giving everyone a free gift.(Which is why I hate APC and PDP).

Nigeria must leave oil behind and make the hard choices to become an indstrial nation. And we must be realistic. We cannot have a Ferrari with tricycle money.
