The directive was announced by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, during a stakeholder meeting held in Kwangwalam, a border town in the Maiadua Local Government Area, on Saturday.
CGC Adeniyi emphasized that this directive is in line with President Tinubu’s dedication to ensuring that Nigerians have access to an adequate and affordable food supply.
Adeniyi stated, “The objective is to enhance food security and ensure that Nigerians do not suffer from hunger. Mr. President views this as one of the strategies to address the issue of food security.
“We have seized over 120 trucks of food items earmarked for export, which indicates a significant quantity of food was removed from our markets, contributing to shortages and price pressures. Therefore, we anticipate that restocking our markets will have a positive impact on prices.”
Additionally, the CGC visited former President Muhammadu Buhari in his country home of Daura and was also honored with the traditional title of Mabudin Hausa by the emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Farouq Umar, during his visit to the emir’s palace.
