The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio says his ministry will closely monitor and ensure strict adherence to the remittance of the three percent Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) compensations to host communities.
Senator Akpabio disclosed this on Thursday during the weekly ministerial briefing at the State House in Abuja.
