The “Fix PDP Fix Nigeria” group is urging the National Assembly to pass a bill that would require major oil companies to relocate their headquarters to their operational bases in the Niger Delta region.
According to Mr. Ejiro Odibo, a member of the group from Delta State, this move would help reduce poverty and insecurity in the region by creating more job opportunities for the local population.
Mr. Odibo criticized the proposed tax reform bill, calling it a “capitalist bill” that would further impoverish the poor. Instead, he urged the Senate to prioritize the passage of the oil companies’ relocation bill.
NigerThe group believes that relocating the headquarters of oil companies to their operational bases would have a positive impact on the region’s economy and improve the lives of the local people.
