Nigeria Customs Service has announced the
re-introduction of embargo on importation of rice through land borders across
the country. The Comptroller-General of Customs, Hameed Ali, made the
announcement at a review meeting with Comptrollers of Border Commands and
Federal Operation Units in Abuja.
According to Ali, the Service noticed that the revenue from
rice imports through the land borders hardly matched the volume of rice
arriving in neighbouring ports. He said the presidency had given approval for the reversal of the embargo put in place in October 2015 which allowed rice imports through land borders, once suitable duty and charges were paid.
