the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP), Barrister Ledum Mitee, has advocated for merger of community provisions of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) and the Solid Minerals Act 2006 into Extractive Resources Community Development Bill.

He said the proposed Bill, if passed into law by the National Assembly, would align and holistically address the environmental, developmental and ownership concerns of host communities in a non-discriminatory manner.

He stated that a comparison of the PIB and the Solid Minerals Act shows that the legislation for solid minerals provides better protection for communities in extraction sites, while the PIB denies communities the right to property and freedom of participation.
