The House of Representatives has urged the military to desist from destroying illegal refineries in the country and adopt a global and a more standard system of dealing with it.
The lawmakers made the call on Wednesday after adopting a motion by Chidi Wihioka (Rivers-APC) on the need to address the menace of hazardous soot causing panic in Port Harcourt.
In the motion, Mr. Wihioka said that burning of the illegal refineries was partly responsible for the soot challenge.
Mr. Wihioka said soot could cause a wide array of health challenges to humans.
In his contribution, Deputy Speaker of the House, Yussuf Lasun, said that burning illegal refineries was not a solution to the problems in the coastal areas.
Mr. Lasun said that no Nigerian had complained that the petrol, kerosene, diesel and other products from the illegal refineries were inferior to the imported products.
He said it was high time the government sat with the operators of the illegal refineries to develop modalities for standardising them.
According to him, if the technology is developed, local companies could independently take over the oil sector without depending on foreigners.
Mr. Lasun said that a country could develop either through agriculture, technology transfer “or development of local technology’’.
After the debate and adoption of the motion, the legislators urged the Federal Ministry of Environment and the Federal Ministry of Health to constitute an emergency team of experts to identify the source of the soot and propose remedy.
They asked the ministries to create awareness on the effect of the soot, adding that the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) should offer first aid measures to the people.
In his ruling, the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, mandated the Committees on Environment and Habitat and Healthcare Services to ensure compliance and report back within four weeks.

House of Representatives supporting illegality. The illegal mock refineries are operated by criminals who sponsor most of these so called Honourables. Anyway, this case is simple, let the Honourables just go and stand in front of the armoured tanks and bombs when the military start destroying illegal refineries.

And you didn't read the part of standardising operations? Illegal because it's not produced by shell or imported? Do you know the number of jobs these 'illegal' refineries will create when standardised?

Chidi Wihioka, Do these people know that "Nwa" is also pronounce "Wa" in other igbo dialects but written as "Nwa" due to standardization?

The person that rear sheep is called SHEPHERDS, that means the person that rear cow should be called COWARDS. We are rule by cowards, Why are they destroying when it can bed value to out country?. ILLEGAL CAN BECOME LEGAL PLEASE!.
