The Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Inter-Parliamentary Affairs, Honourable Daniel Reyenieju, on Monday, assured Nigerians that the Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB before the National Assembly would be thoroughly scrutinised before its passage by the lawmakers.

Honourable Reyenieju who represents Warri Federal Constituency of Delta State gave the assurance in a chat with newsmen in Abuja saying, "Nigerians’ hope and aspiration from the PIB when it becomes law will remain the guiding principle of the House, and thus the House will fully scrutinize the bill using all possible prisms of analysis and contextualized international best practices to fulfil this onerous task".

The lawmaker who was recently elected Vice Chairman, Commonwealth Parliamentary Union, African Region, however, appealed to Nigerians to expect the best output from the National Assembly.

According to him, "in Nigeria, being for now a mono-cultural economy which is almost sorely rested on crude oil, it is through a good regulatory law that Nigeria can derive the necessary maximum advantage from this law.”
