The Senate has lamented the nation’s huge revenue loss due to gas flaring and pledged to end the economic waste with an appropriate legislation.
The red chamber took the decision after a discussion on the lead debate on gas flaring prohibition and punishment, sponsored by Senator Akpan Bassey.
The red chamber noted with concern that the two-hundred and naira lost in revenue to gas flaring in 2018 was capable of bringing desired development to the country.
Senator Bassey said the bill was passed by the Eighth Senate in 2018 but was not concurred to by the Eighth House of Representatives.
