There shouldn\u2019t be a signature yet. President Buhari shouldn\u2019t assent to it yet,\u201d Dickson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be delayed for more consultative and inclusive work so that while trying to solve problems, you don\u2019t create more problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the President has not guaranteed security in the north-east, south-east, south-west and north-west, it will be against the national interest to open another frontier of conflicts perhaps in the only region that is enjoying relative stability because of the policies that the late President Umaru Yar\u2019Adua initiated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former governor of Bayelsa explained that the bill proposed 10 percent for the host communities and another 10 per cent for frontier development when it was introduced to the national assembly by the administration of the late President Umaru Yar\u2019Adua.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, the bill could not be passed then. The 9th Assembly has been able to pass it but we have to get it right,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not happy with the three per cent that was eventually passed. Most of us disagree completely and that was why I led my other colleagues from the south-south to stage a walk out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe argument was that the investors would not come if more than three per cent was approved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever I want to state that if the host communities are not happy, the investors will not come.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us be very careful, and that is why I am of the view that the three per cent is not helpful to the host communities, not helpful to the oil companies and also, not helpful to the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the money allocated for frontier basins exploration should not be up to 30 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are several frontier basins in the country. I know it serves the national interest in exploring more basins but why allocating 30 per cent of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/07\/15\/senate-nnpc-did-not-remit-n3-87trn-crude-oil-proceeds-in-2015\/\">NNPC<\/a> profit to oil exploration when the desire of the host communities were not met?\u201d Dickson asked.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Biobarakuma Wangagha, senator representing Bayelsa east, said the decision to allocate 3 percent to the host communities was that of the national assembly and not Timipreye Sylva, the minister of state for petroleum resources.<\/p>\n<p>Dickson was alleged to have recently accused Sylva of reducing the host communities\u2019 development funds in the PIB to three per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[It is] highly regrettable considering the tireless efforts put in by the minister in actualising this long awaited law,\u201d the Bayelsa east senator said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne wonders how and why Dickson would drag Sylva into this. Observers would be tempted to ask what efforts Dickson made to achieve the utmost desire as the bill was presented to the National Assembly when he was still governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther governors from the Niger Delta region rallied round their people and even lobbied lawmakers from other regions to support an increase in the host communities\u2019 development funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDickson did nothing as he was content with spending 13 percent derivation on aggressive development of his own villages which are not host communities, leaving the oil and gas producing host communities to suffer their fate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous to see him fighting pretentiously for host communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator representing Bayelsa west, Seriake Dickson has stated that the 3 percent allocation to host communities as contained in the recently passed Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) will cause unrest in the Niger Delta region.
