President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the amended Deep Offshore Act into law from London where he is on a private visit.
The document of the bill was taken to Buhari by his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari.
The moment the bill was signed was captured on camera and posted by the president via his handle: @MBuhari, accompanied by a tweet, which reads: “This afternoon I assented to the Bill amending the Deep Offshore (and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contract) Act. This is a landmark moment for Nigeria; let me use this opportunity to thank the National Assembly for the cooperation that produced this long overdue amendment.”
