AS the seventh session of the National Assembly resumes sitting soon, a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the country has tasked the lawmakers to consider the review and passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) a top priority. The coalition said it is incumbent on the lawmakers to ensure patriotism by incorporating the contributions of affected communities and other Nigerians in the PIB, instead of the existing “skewed version”.

Anderlecht have confirmed that they have entered into negotiations with Chelsea concerning a potential move for their young striker Romelu Lukaku.

The 18-year-old put in strong performances during the course of last season, scoring 20 goals for his club in the process. He has already made nine appearances for the Belgium national side, scoring two goals.

The teenager had for some time been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, and now the Belgian outfit’s general manager, Herman van Holsbeeck, has admitted that talks are under way with the London-based club.

However, he insists that Chelsea are not the only club that Anderlecht are currently talking to concerning a potential move for Lukaku.

“There is still a long way to go in the negotiations. We are indeed negotiating with Chelsea, but there are other clubs we are talking to,” Van Holsbeeck told Sky Sports.

The general manager of the Belgian club also refused to reveal precisely when the two clubs might come to an agreement, and said: “It could happen in the next half hour, it could take until August 31 – that is football.”
