 And Niger Delta leaders and prominent groups from the region have expressed mixed reactions following the passage of the petroleum industry bill by the National Assembly. While some commend the 9th National Assembly for passing the bill after 20 years in limbo after stakeholders rejected, the 3% of oil companies' profits are located to host communities by the lawmakers. A retired Deputy Inspector General of Police and Stullworth of all Progressive Congress Udom Udo Ekwodom argued that the National Assembly members from the region did not do enough to ensure a better package for host communities in the bill. He insisted that the 3% allotted to host communities be reviewed upwards for the sake of peace and justice. Also the President of the National Congress, Professor Benjamin Okaba, the President General of Urobo Progress Union, Olorogun Moses Tega, and former Deputy Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Orok Oto Duke, all expressed displeasure over the 3% profit allocation to the oil-producing region.
