Nigeria senate presents oil overhaul bill to full chamber for passage (Adds details on the bill, remaining obstacles) ABUJA/LAGOS, June 29 (Reuters) – Nigeria’s senate will present a long-awaited oil overhaul bill to the full chamber for passage on Tuesday, according to an order paper seen by Reuters.The president sent the bill to the National Assembly in September last year, and presentation to the full chamber means the senate is ready to pass the package, although the timeline of passage was not immediately clear.The bill aims to modernise Nigeria’s petroleum industry and attract a shrinking pool of global fossil fuel investment dollars.Observers had hoped the political alignment of the presidency and the National Assembly would break a cycle of failure that has stalked overhaul efforts for 20 years.But the House has not updated its timeline for considering the bill, and sources told Reuters the chamber could be a bigger obstacle to quick passage.
There are demands for big changes to the bill, including from community leaders seeking an increased share of revenue, could push its passage into late this year.(Reporting by Camillus Eboh and Libby George, writing by Libby George; Editing by Bernadette Baum) First Published: 2021-06-29 12:21:19 Updated 2021-06-29 12:53:19 © 2021 Thomson Reuters.All rights reserved.Reuters content is the intellectual property of Thomson Reuters or its third party content providers.Any copying, republication or redistribution of Reuters content, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without the prior written consent of Thomson Reuters.
