The House of Representatives Committee on Ports, Harbours and Waterways was on Thursday told why there is a continuous reduction in the influx of cargoes into the Nigerian ports and by extension, the revenue accruing to the federal government.
The committee has asked the NPA boss reasons for the drop in ships and cargo performance at the ports. “We also have an additional list of items that has been banned for importation.

He said the euphoria that the country is producing more than importing certain items should not stop efforts to seek proper solutions to the problems.
