I therefore pray for the intervention of the ninth assembly to correct this oversight in the interest of national unity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeedless to add that this amendment will provide the sense of participation and inclusion for almost every section of the country in the decision making of strategic institutions such as the oil industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this amendment is approved, it will now increase the number of non-executive members from two to six. That is, one person from each geo-political zone,\u201d part of the letter read.<\/p>\n<p>b) Sections 11(2)(f-g) and 34(2)(f-g). This amendment seeks to remove the ministers of petroleum and finance from the board of the two institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed amendment, the president said, will increase the membership of the board from nine to 13 that is representing 44 per cent expansion of the board size.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis composition will strengthen the institutions and also achieve the expected policy contributions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two ministries already have constitutional responsibilities of either supervision or intergovernmental relations that will continue to perform such roles without being in the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also important to note that administratively, the representatives of the ministries in the board will be directors in the same rank in the institutions. This may bring some complications on some decision making especially on issues of staff related matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>c) Section 11(3) which deals with the appointment of executive directors.<\/p>\n<p>The Act made provisions for seven departmental heads in the authority to be known as executive directors. The appointment will also be subject to Senate\u2019s confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Buhari said this category of officers are civil servants and not political appointees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Senate is invited to note the need to exempt serving public officers from the established confirmation process for political appointments. This will ensure effective management of the regulatory institutions through uniform implementation of public service rules for employees of the Authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the future, these positions will obviously be filled by workers in the Authority through career progression in conformity with the rules and regulations of the federal civil service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The president informed the lawmakers that the proposed amendments to the PIA is aimed at laying sound administrative structures governed by simple operational laws that will ensure smooth take-off and consequent growth of the two institutions.<\/p>\n<p>It is also in line with this administration\u2019s commitment to carry out petroleum reforms, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking to make amendments to some sections of the recently signed Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).
