Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari signed into law long-awaited legislation to overhaul the oil and gas industry in Africa’s biggest crude producer.
Buhari assented to the so-called Petroleum Industry Bill on Monday, a month after it was voted through by both chambers of the National Assembly, presidential spokesman Femi Adesina said in an emailed statement. Buhari’s government is banking that the reforms will attract a greater share of global capital allocated to fossil fuel projects.
