BREAKING NEWS! Reps Okay Creation Of Petroleum Varsity. by whizpet: 9:07am On May 18, 2016 |
Members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday
approved the establishment of the Federal University of
Petroleum Resources, Effurun in Delta State.
Lawmakers, sitting in the Committee of the Whole,
considered and adopted a report on a bill to establish the
institution.
A female member from Delta State, Evelyn Omavowan-
Oboro, had sponsored the bill at the 7th Assembly.
However, by the rules of the House, which allow revisiting
of bills introduced in a preceding Assembly, the House
revived the bill by reconsidering it for passage in the
Committee of the Whole.
The university is primarily to serve as a training institution
for oil and gas sector disciplines, particularly crude oil
refining and other oil sector expertise that Nigeria
currently depends on expatriates for.
The report of the bill adopted by lawmakers on Tuesday
explained that the university should be under the direct
supervision of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources to
impart knowledge without discrimination on the basis of
sex, political affiliation, race or creed.
However, Omavowan-Oboro, who was happy that the
report had been adopted, at last by the House, said all that
remained was the concurrence of the Senate.
In another resolution, the House called on the National
Emergency Management Agency to urgently come to the
aid of thousands of victims who had been displaced in the
Anambra-East/West Local Government Areas of Anambra
State by rainstorm.
A member of the House, Mr. Tony Nwoye, who reported
the plight of the victims to the House on Tuesday, said the
victims were sacked by a downpour on April 30.
Part of the resolution read, “Aware that on April 30, 2016
Odekpe, lgbedor, Oroma-EtitiAnam, Ogwari Asako Nsugbe;
Nando, Umuneri, Aguleri and other neighbouring
communities in Anambra-East and West Federal
Constituency were ravaged by rainstorm.
“We are concerned that the rainstorm blew off roofs of
over 100 residential buildings in those communities,
thereby rendering thousands of people homeless.
“We are also concerned that these internally displaced
people are presently taking refuge in make-shift structures
under severe weather conditions.” punchng.com/reps-okay-creation-petroleum-varsity/ |
