The President of LCCI, Mr. Babatunde Ruwase made this call in a parley with pressmen on the agenda for the new government, adding that, there is currently a proposal by the Nigeria Ports Authority to impose $1 levy on every barrel of oil export and also new levies are being proposed under the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency [NOSDRA] amendment bill as well as the Maritime University amendment bill.
