The bill seeks to establish a framework for the creation of commercially-oriented and profit-driven petroleum entities, to ensure value addition and internationalisation of the petroleum industry, through the creation of efficient and effective governing institutions with clear and separate roles for the petroleum industry.

NAN reports that the bill is the first in a series of long awaited petroleum industry laws designed to reform the Nigerian oil and gas industry.

The PIB, an omnibus law meant to regulate the entire sphere of the industry and repeal all current existing oil and gas legislation, had struggled to see the light of day ins spite of its introduction to the National Assembly over 16 years ago.

Subsequently, the National Assembly decided to break the PIB into a number of different pieces of legislation guiding specific aspects of the industry. (NAN).
