BREAKING: Customs Orders Complete Border Import, Export Ban

The Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service, retried Col. Hameed Ali has insisted that all import and export  goods from the country’s land borders remain banned until there is agreement with neighboring countries on what type of goods that should enter or exit Nigeria.

Ali maintained that all goods must only pass through the legitimate air and sea ports where they can undergo thorough scanning and certified fit for consumption.

According to him: “We hope that by the time we get to the end of this exercise, we would have exactly between we and our neighbors agreed on the type of goods that should enter and exit our country”.

He said the measure is for the security agencies to be able to scan the goods entering the country.

Ali therefore said for that reason, we have deemed it necessary for now that importers of such goods should go through our controlled boarders where we have scanners to verify the kind of goods and how healthy to our people can be conducted.
