FOOD SCARCITY: NCS To Share Seized Food Items To Citizens

As Modalities For Distribution Begins

Concerned with and affected by food scarcity,  high cost of everyday household consumables in the country, the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has disclosed that it has concluded plans to distribute to citizens food items the Service seized at different times and at its various formations from non-compliant traders.

In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer, NPRO, of the Service, Abdullahi Maiwada, a Chief Superintendent of Customs, the NCS said the move is in response to the critical challenges of food security and the soaring costs of essential food items in Nigeria.

According to Maiwada, “The Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, reaffirms his commitment to advancing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s food security agenda. This commitment is deeply rooted in the NCS’s core mandate of serving the best interests of the Nigerian people, thereby fostering economic stability and prosperity”.

The NPRO disclosed that the service has launched a strategic anti-smuggling operation and public engagement in its commitment to prevent the unlawful exportation of vital food resources for individual economic gains-necessitating the need for a proactive stance to safeguard food availability within the country and alleviate the detrimental effects of scarcity on citizens.

On measure adopted by the Service to bring succour to the people, the NPRO stated “To alleviate the hardships faced by Nigerians and improve access to essential food items, the Nigeria Customs Service will facilitate the direct disposal of food items forfeited to the Federal Government”.

“These items will be certified fit for consumption by relevant agencies and made available to ordinary Nigerians nationwide through equitable distribution in our Areas of Operations”.

On how the seized items shall be distributed, the Customs spokesman was unambiguous “The modalities for the disposal will be communicated through NCS formations nationwide, with a firm commitment to transparency, fairness, and public safety. It is our pledge that this exercise will be managed diligently to ensure that the benefits reach those most in need”.

Abdullahi Maiwada assured Nigerians that the NIgeria Customs Service remains resolute in its dedication to safeguarding Nigeria’s food security and advancing the economic well-being of all Nigerians.

“With the unwavering support and cooperation of the public, we will surmount these challenges and pave the way for a more prosperous future for our beloved nation” the Customs mouthpiece pleaded.
