Abstract
After about 20 years of slow and staggered progress, Nigeria's Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was ratified into law in 2021 and became the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). This paper examines the dynamic political context in which the bill finally came into being through the lens of the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF). It identifies the key interest groups in the context of the bill's passage and describes the changes in the preference enforcement power of these groups that opened the way for the passage of the bill. Finally, it sheds light on the PIA's survival prospects after the 2023 presidential elections based on the backgrounds of the top candidates and their likely policy inclinations.
