Senate President Bukola Saraki says in a few weeks, the Senate would begin work on the first set of bills meant to reform the petroleum industry.
The Senate President made this known on Monday while inaugurating 10 Standing Committees of Senate.
Dr. Saraki urged the relevant committees to pay close attention to the bills.
He said that the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) had been given priority in the legislative agenda of the Eight Senate.
