Nigeria’s House orders inquiry into foreign shipping operators
A new ad hoc committee will examine compliance with cabotage, local-content and tax rules; the House presented concerns as allegations for investigation.
Nigeria’s House of Representatives resolved to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate international shipping operators’ structures and compliance in the country. The National Assembly Library Trust Fund reported the decision on 21 October, following a motion by Aniekwe Peter Udogalanya.
The committee is to examine staffing, crewing and inland-logistics requirements under the cabotage and oil-and-gas local-content laws, as well as tax obligations, and report within four weeks. Concerns raised about market power, pricing and compliance are grounds for the inquiry, not findings of proven violations.
