The Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has said that President Bola Tinubu has directed the Nigerian Customs Service to return all seized grains to their owners for onward retailing in the Nigerian markets.

The CGC disclosed this during a stakeholder meeting at Kwangwalam, a border town in the Maiadua Local Government Area of Katsina State on Saturday.

He said the directive was given by the president in his magnanimous gesture of ensuring that people of the country have enough food to buy at cheaper prices from the markets.

He said, however, the return of the confiscated food items to the owners was based only on the condition that it would be sold in the Nigerian 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,” he said.

The CGC visited former President Muhammadu Buhari in his country home of Daura as well as the emir of Daura, Dr Umar Farouq Umar in his palace where he was conferred with the traditional title of Mabudin Hausa by the emir.

Weak move!

That is telling the owners that there will be no consequences for their negative behaviours. You can take actions that'll hurt the entire country and NOTHING will happen to you. That there is no consequences for doing somethin in illegal in Nigeria.

Weak!

We coddle criminals in Nigeria and that's why we have epidemic of crimes. Everybody is looking to commit crimes because nobody is punishing them.

Imagine removing 120 truckloads of food from a starving nation and still getting a pat on the back for your sabotage.

What would have been better instead is to take the food to the market and sell them at fair market prices and give the proceeds to sensible and conscientious farmers. Not these criminals.
