The Chairman, Rivers State Chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Mr. Joseph Obele, has said it was unfair for the Senate to have approved just three per cent funding for oil producing communities in the country.
In a statement, Obele argued that the long-awaited Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was not worth celebrating in the Niger Delta region. But, he stressed that overall, the PIB would usher in new investments and create a large volume of employment opportunities in the sector.
“The breaking news that the Senate has finally passed into law the long awaited PIB is a good news for the oil and gas sector and bad news for the people of the Niger Delta region.

The Niger Delta Congress (NDC) has picked holes in the newly passed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), saying it came as “one legislation too many, aimed at purloining the resources of Niger Delta.”
In a statement yesterday by its acting spokesman, Ovunda C. Eni, the group said the “disappointing news” did not come to it as a surprise.
The NDC regretted the “laissez faire attitude of some Niger Delta leaders”, claiming that a bulk of them exhibited “treachery and criminal passivity to the contents of the bill.” x
The body observed: “Notwithstanding the absence of surprise, we find it contemptible and an act of aggression. We also take note of the treacherous active and passive roles played by the political leadership of the Niger Delta in the facilitation of this disrespect to our people. This, we find embarrassing and sad.
