The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, said on Wednesday, that it was still studying the directive by the President on Tuesday on food importation to ease the hunger in the country.
This is as the service said it generated about N2.7 trillion in the first six months of 2024, an increase of about N200 billion over its projected revenue for the same period.
He said: “We are still studying it ourselves. There is nothing in that pronouncement that says the extant rules have changed apart from the suspension of the tariff and taxes. Things that are not allowed through the land border have not been allowed by that pronouncement.
