South-South lawmakers chant 'five percent' after PIB allocation is pegged at three percent

Members of the House of Representatives from the South-South have cried against the pegged three percent harmonized Petroleum Industry Bill allocated to host communities.

Chanting "five percent", they fought against the three percent which was controversially agreed upon at the floor of the House on Thursday, July 15.

MyNigeria gathered that they continue the chants even as the Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, walked in to commence plenary.

Shortly after, the House went into an executive session.
