Reports reaching us indicate that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwa, will today Wednesday, March 13, 2013 inaugurate a 23 man ad-hoc committee headed by the Chief Whip of the House, Ishaka Bawa to consider the provisions of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).
The committee was set up in November 2012 shortly after the Bill scaled through the second reading on the floor of the House of Representatives.
It will also be recalled that the Bill just last week made it past the second reading on the floor of the Senate and was sent to the relevant Senate Committees for deliberations.
