President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Nigerian Customs Service to return all the grains that they have seized at the various service points and units back to their owners.
The order was given on the condition that the grains would be available for onward retailing in the various markets in the country.
Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi disclosed this during a stakeholder meeting at Kwangwalam, a border town in the Maiadua Local Government Area of Katsina State on Saturday.
The directive, he said, was a magnanimous gesture of President Tinubu to ensure that people of the country have enough food to buy at cheaper prices from the markets.
“The whole idea is to promote food security and ensure that Nigerians will not be living with hunger and Mr President considers this as one of the strategies that can help address the problem of food security.
“We have over 120 trucks of food items for export seized, which means a lot of food items were taken out of our markets, leading to the unavailability that created some pressure on the prices of these food items.
“So, we hope that by the time we restock our markets, it will have some positive effects on the prices.”
