The Senate also urged the Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON) and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to review the duties

The Senate on Tuesday begun the probe of the moribund paper mills in the country with a view to reviving them.

While moving the motion, Mr Ekpeyong noted that Nigeria’s three Paper Mills: Nigeria Paper Mill in Kwara, Nigeria Newsprint Manufacturing Company in Akwa lbom and Nigeria National Paper Manufacturing Company in Ogun were established by the Federal Government in the 1960s and 1970s. He said the mills were later privatised by government as a result of lack of adequate funds to run them and non-performance to ensure effective and profitable management of the mills, adding after the privitisation the mills went underground.

The lawmaker noted that the sector had gone moribund since the privatisation, leaving the country with another huge income deficit.Nigeria Customs Service
