Customs Commences Sale Of Seized Food Item, Aim To Tackle Hunger In The country
The Nigeria Customs Service has commenced the sale of seized food items to vulnerable Nigerians in order to address the issue of hunger across the country.
The Comptroller General of the Service, Adewale Adeniyi, has stated this on Tuesday, on the floor of the House of Representatives during the sectoral debate series which also had in attendance the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari.
According to Mr Adeniyi, President Bola Tinubu has directed that food items produced in Nigeria and seized at the Nigerian land borders, be sold directly to vulnerable Nigerians to ease the challenge of hunger in the country.
He said, “Mr President has directed that we sell directly to needy Nigerians food items produced locally but which were seized. This is one of the ways to address hunger and food scarcity we are facing. We have started this in Lagos.
“Also, the President has also directed that imported food items seized by the Nigeria Customs Service should be sold back to the local markets for resale to Nigerians”
