The passage of the 2017 Budget and the Petroleum Industry Governance Bill, will top the agenda as the Senate resumes sitting tomorrow (Tuesday).
The Senate is also expected to receive the final report of itsAd-hoc Committee on the Mounting Humanitarian Crisis in the North East, which indicted the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) David Babachir Lawal in a grass cutting scandal of over N200million.
Recall that before the legislative body embarked on Easter break, it received the report of the Joint Committees on Petroleum Upstream, Petroleum Downstream, and Gas on the PIGB. The report which was presented by Tayo Alasoadura, chairman of the joint committees, will be considered upon resumption from the break.
The PIGB is one of the 11 economic reform bills currently before the Senate, which it promised would be passed alongside the 2017 budget.
