Hardship: Customs is set to auction seized food items
The Nigeria Customs Service says it has commenced the sale of seized food items to vulnerable Nigerians in order to address hunger and food scarcity being faced by Nigerians.
The Comptroller General of the Service, Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this on Tuesday, March 5, on the floor of the House of Representatives in Abuja.
According to him, “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.”
