 The Speaker of the House of Representatives has warned against the health threats of gas flaring as well as the environmental degradation. Honorable Tajidin Abbas spoke at an investigative hearing organized by the House Art Health Committee on Gas Flaring in Nigeria from 2013 to 2023. The public hearing by the committee was aimed at brainstorming with relevant stakeholders in the oil and gas sector on ways to address the issue of gas flaring with a view to coming out with measures to arrest it. In his opening address to members of the Art Health Committee and stakeholders, the Speaker, who was represented by the chief whip of the House, Honorable Osman says gas flaring poses grave dangers to human lives and the environment. Moreover, gas flaring has led to a substantial economic loss and revenue decline of the nation. The flash gas presents lost revenue that could have been generated through its sales or utilization. Official records indicate that we lost about 2.5 billion dollars annually to gas flaring. However, the consequences of gas flaring extend beyond economic considerations. It also poses serious health hazards to nearby communities. The committee's chairman, Honorable Munir from Kaduna State noted that the country loses billions of dollars annually to gas flaring, which would have been channeled towards growing different sectors of the economy. The issue of gas flaring is something that has been lingering for decades. There has been undertakings after undertakings by the oil companies that it will come to a stop, but up to now it continues to linger. So we are here to hear from all sides, give everybody a fair hearing, see where the loopholes are, where we need to tweak our laws to ensure we get optimal results. Be it as it may. We don't have to continue revisiting the issue of how important it is to our revenue drive, how much we need it for our infrastructure, for our security, for education, for health.
