FG Bans Woods, Charcoal Exportation. by agronewsng(m): 9:06am On May 23, 2016 |
The Federal Government has banned wood and charcoal exportation, following exporters’ refusal to adhere to the directive of cut-one plant-two policy. The Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Export Promotion Council, NEPC, Mr. Olusegun Awolowo, disclosed this at the just-concluded two-day retreat organised by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, UNIDO, at the Free Trade Zone, Onne, Rivers State, for the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment and its agencies. Awolowo told Vanguard that the new directive had thrown exporters of charcoal into confusion as some of them had existing agreements with their partners abroad. He said government must explain the reason for the move, adding “I just got that circular; this is part of the policy somersault we are talking about. “How can the government ban charcoal when people have been processing it? They did not even carry exporters along.” Also confirming the development, Customs Public Relations Officer of Tin Can Island Port, Mr. Chris Osunkwo, said they were aware of the ban, adding that they were, however, waiting for the memorandum. Commenting on the development, Mr. Giovani Locano, General Manager, China Shipping, told Vanguard that he was not aware of the fact that charcoal had been banned. Although, Locano supported the decision of government to ban wood and charcoal exportation, he called for a more proactive approach so that peoples’ businesses are not affected. Osunkwo explained that wood and charcoal were banned because the exporters of these items failed to meet up with the agreement they had with the government on tree planting.

"The Federal Government has banned wood and charcoal exportation, following exporters’ refusal to adhere to the directive of cut-one plant-two policy"..................If the exporters are only interested in deforesting without afforesting, this is the way to go. 128 Likes 6 Shares |

That ban should have been done 20yrs ago. Our forests have been depleted and exposed to deforestation by all manners of people. Mostly foreigners like chinese. Infact, i will recommend 25yrs in jail or death by hanging to anyone caught. Impunity must stop 51 Likes 1 Share |

welcome development proccessed coals should be discouraged totally! We should be preserving our forests. Those who cut those trees dont even plant them back. They can still allow mined ones for now. |

Its about time! I saw a documentary on charcoal biz on Aljazeera which nearly brought me to tears. So many many vast expanse of lands (somewhere in SW) made almost barren within a short period of time by this charcoal people, and with no single tree planted. The huzzlers even admitted, they never took govt replanting serious, afterall they have trees in abundance. As if those EU countries they export charcoal to dont have trees. 37 Likes |

Hahahahahahaha. A ridiculous country!!! First, a registered tree feller who is into woods and charcoal exportation should have a permit to fell trees And all this should be done with the Afforestation department to ensure compliance with federal and state laws But alas!!, Nothing but corruption and arbitrary procedures!! 2 Likes |
