Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says signing the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), into law would whittle down his powers as Minister of Petroleum Resources, an office he has held since 2015

Buhari withheld his signature from signing the bill even after Nigeria's dual chambers National Assembly passed it.

The PIGB was first proposed some 17 years ago by stakeholders in the oil and gas sector, as an answer to the massive corruption and theft that has been the bane of the Country's oil industry since the 1960s
