The House of Representatives Committee on Ports, Harbour and Waterways has called for an urgent review of the Federal Government’s automotive policy to stop the smuggling of cars to the country.
The Chairman of the committee, Dr Pat Asadu, made the call in an interview in Lagos on the sidelines of a two-day retreat organised by the committee in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Transportation.
Asadu said the committee would work closely with 360 members of the lower legislative chamber to come up with a vibrant automotive policy.
“I think the automotive policy needs urgent review and we are in a position not just as this committee but we are working with 360 members in the House cutting across every part of this country.
“So we are going to take back our feelings and our findings and we hope to establish a portal where more reactions to some of these outcomes of these retreats will be fed into us by the public”, he assured.
According to him, the House will amend all the functions of the regulatory agencies to avoid conflicting roles on the part of government agencies.
