President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to release food items seized at the border communities to the rightful owners, with the requirement that the items should be sold in Nigerian markets.
The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this while meeting with people from border areas at Kongolam and Mai’Adua border stations on Saturday, March 9.
The Customs chief stated that President Tinubu had made a decision to use his authority not based on legal guidelines, “but rather reflecting the deep sense of generosity he holds towards Nigeria.”
“In doing so, he has directed that those food items that were going out of the country that have been seized in various border areas should be returned to the owners on the condition that those goods would be sold in the Nigerian markets
So, we will be monitoring you to know if there is a violation of this. Those food items will be returned, and it is a directive that we will pass them back into the Nigerian markets” he said
