There were tense moments at the House of Representatives on Thursday as members approved a clause in the Petroleum Industry Bill to include the entire country as ‘host community’ of petroleum resources.
By approving the clause, the House said all “upstream and downstream ” communities in the country would now benefit from the‎ “Petroleum Host Community Fund”, proposed in the PIB.
In the original version of the bill from the Executive, the PHCF was proposed to assist cushion the effects of oil exploration activities on oil producing communities.
Oil companies, according to the bill, are to contribute 10 per cent of their net profit to the Fund.
However, the House AdHoc Committee on the PIB amended the beneficiaries of the PHCF to include all parts of the country rather than restricting it to oil communities alone.
Chairman of the committee, Mr. Ishaka Bawa, while throwing light on the recommendation, told members that communities with refineries or have oil pipelines traversing them, were automatically “host communities.”
He added, “It means that even states, where there are refineries or there are pipelines are host communities.
“It is beyond oil producing communities. “
Bawa stated further that the only exceptions were states like Sokoto and Kebbi.
Although, the House passed the recommendation, it was not without some protests.
Some Niger Delta lawmakers, led by Mr. Leo Ogor, sought to retain the original proposal.
Ogor argued that the recommendation of the committee might face challenges of implementation because of what he called “many technicalities that will hinder progress.”
He insisted that the House should restore the original provision, but his position was defeated ‎by the majority of members, who backed the community’s recommendation.
The House also reduced the 10 per cent contribution to the PHCF to 7.5 per cent.
But, oil companies are still required to carry out corporate social responsibilities in host communities to make up for the reduced financial contribution.
Lawmakers began considering the report on the controversial bill on Wednesday.
The 368-page report has 312 sections and 348 clauses.
By Thursday, members had passed 116 clauses at the Committee ‎of the Whole, which was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha.
The House later adjourned further consideration of the bill till Tuesday next week.

semitunde:


So do they companies that make use of the resources in those other places. Or you think they got their oil prospecting licenses free of charge?

Afam4eva:

What about Nigerian land?

joeyfire:
See two very different "host" communities. one dey gain and one is dying.

This cheating don too much

Remarkable:


Who did they pay, for the license?

semitunde:


You are deflecting from the original post I quoted to argue about the authenticity or otherwise of the licenses gotten.

Pls read my initial posts.

CSTR2:
The height of injustice and sadism.
How can a country expect to develop in the midst of such injustice?
Is someone in kano or oyo suffering the effect of oil pollution?
I spit on that country.
Northerners have led that country into an abyss that is unescapable.
It's only a matter of time when all these negative forces acting on that country tear it beyond repair.

SOUNDKING:
he was blided by one nigeria fraud,he saw the north as a place very backward thats why he put 80percent of his transformation initiative to the north. Yet all to no avail, God bless BIAFRA/L.N.R.

Actually Ogagamic said u re mad 4 tat word, Ondo state nor reach una ?, fooollllls. so d oil in my community belong to Obasanjo in Ogun ?, u re mad


We need refredum, Northerners re mad,.... jst imagine rubbish

Enahi:
And that useless Asari Dokubo will not see this and protest o,its only how to feed his over-bloated tummy that he knows. Besides I don't care sha,the country is a very useless country. The Oil is already in the hands of Northerners and they still want a percentage to be given to them for been a host? Crazy backward Northerners that's why they are cursed,despite the billoners from that region,they still go about begging.

halix239:

halix239:




lol, c pot calling kettle black, did u jst say we re cursed, any way i won't argue with u, that bill must be implemented n every state must ve a benefit of the so called oyel, if u re pained by it, i suggest u go kiss hot iron, yes, northerners we rock.

PROUDLY NORTHERNER.

CSTR2:
Your leaders are practically heaping hot coals of fire on your innocent heads.
What have you guys done with nigerdelta money all this decades.?
Is the north not the most cursed part of africa , afflicted with all kinds of strangeness .?
I am sure you are probably married to one big belly useless alhaji as his fourth wife.
Anyway, it is only a matter of time before this hell-hole divides.

halix239:

lol rants of sore losers, y'all are cowards, there's nothing u can do, u can only rant as expected, the might of the north can not be stood against by any 4king region. u only boast of ur tiny millitants that only blow up pipelines affecting u only, nothing, nothing else u can burst of. for the record we re not cursed, we ve rich lands that brings in splendid plantations of diff crops where as oyo be wins second name.

barcanista:
To hell with them all. They can even say only non-oil producers are hosts...all I care about is an independent country because it is very clear that the madness of this fraud called Nigeria is beyond Redemption.


God Bless Lower Niger Republic
