The Environmental Rights Action/ Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/ FoEN) has rejected the recent passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) by the National Assembly, and called on both chambers of the Assembly to immediately harmonise and produce environmentally friendly and peoples bill.
According to a statement released in Benin-city, Edo State, the Executive Director of ERA/FoEN, Dr. Godwin Uyi Ojo, said the National Assembly failed to do justice to the bill which has been pending since 2008.
Ojo wondered why members of the National Assembly would approve a paltry three percent for the host communities in the Host Communities Trust Fund, saying it’s far below bar, and constitutes an affront to the suffering rural communities.
