The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) Nigeria
Many have asked me about my perspectives on the recently passed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) in the Nigerian Senate. Unfortunately, I do not want to waste time on that. Nigeria lacks fundamental visioning systems and provided that is the case, one does not need to be wasting time on many of these issues. Between 2014 and 2020, Nigeria has doubled its national budget but check carefully, standard of living has dropped. We have more kids out of school than ever before. So, whatever we have in that PIB will not save host and non-host communities.
We used to blame the British for our paralysis. Now, it is the Constitution. In 5 years, PIB. Everyone will remain a victim because we like own-goals, creating policies that accelerate suspicions and hatreds!
