This summary is not available. Please

The Group Managing Director, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr. Andrew Yakubu has reiterated that the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) by the National Assembly would revolutionise the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry.
The NNPC GMD who stated this in an interview in Abuja noted that the proposed PIB Act would separate policy, regulatory and commercial roles in the industry.
He said: “Specifically, the PIB envisages the creation of three National Oil Companies from the current NNPC. The current NNPC will be re-structured into NPDC, the Refineries, PPMC, NNPC Retail and other support service units. The unbundling of the NNPC into the National Asset Management Company, the National Gas Company and a vertically integrated National Oil Company with limited Upstream Assets may be viewed as encouraging competition as there is no restriction in law to the business that each of the companies could pursue in future.
