Air force C130 and Nigeria Airways were used to transport military personnels coming or going for official duty

This ones are going on leave not for an official duty

Nigeria’s food prices have been soaring lately, causing a lot of concern for both the government and everyday folks.

The big idea to tackle this issue? Axing import duties on food items—a move that once seemed out of reach. Import duties are basically taxes slapped on goods coming into the country, and they can make stuff way more expensive for consumers.

By slashing or even removing these taxes, the Nigerian government could potentially bring down food prices and boost food security.

Customs Comptroller-General Bashir Adeniyi recently weighed in, saying that scrapping duties on imported food is a step in the right direction. He noted, "The protest was about several issues, including ending hunger. We found out that a lot of our food is imported. Importation takes time, so to ease the burden of import costs, the president has temporarily suspended customs duties and taxes on imported food items."

Import duties are meant to protect local industries, bring in revenue, and regulate the flow of goods. But these taxes also jack up prices for imported essentials like rice, wheat, and processed foods—items that Nigeria can’t produce enough of locally.

When import duties are in place, importers face extra costs, which are usually passed on to consumers. For a country like Nigeria that leans heavily on imported food, these duties can really hit the wallet.

But can the removal of import duties really cut down food prices?

Yes, it will lead to the fall in prices of rice, bread etc

This kind of thing has never happened before. They deserve it, kudos to the COAS

I can't believe local government chairmen and CTC are receiving this huge amount with almost nothing to show for it

The last time inflation fell was in December 2022 when emefiele changed the color of the naira and the naira became scarce

Dem mumu no b small

It's just like trying to seize the air force one

The Chinese company will fail in France, the way they failed in the USA and UK

You lack the capacity to make your own points. So you resort to insults. Next, you start to play the victim card by saying it's Obidients who are insulting you instead.

Most of these unused farmlands were well used before the Buhari Administration started using the Fulani to terrorize farmers.

Only an IP0BDIENTZ will lie without giving a dam like this.

You made it seem as if it was under Buhari herdsmen started attacking farmers.

No matter how you lie, it won't still make obi become the president in 2027.

Bendeco2020:
Though the op is confuse. His title is different from the content

But even in business sector, we're still the least.

Dangote is the richest black man but still not among top 30 richest men in the world.

We have less successful business men compared to other race

In 2013, Dangote net worth was $20 billion. He's the first black man to hit the figure. But today, Dangote net worth is about $13 billion.

A lot of black countries are not well runned compared to white, Arab, Americans and Asian countries.

When government start getting things right, then I believe we will start having lots of successful business men too

This lady captured many people's attention, including mine😃during the #Olympics.
However, when we flipped the story there seemed to be something unpleasant.

In as much as people of African origin are excelling in sports globally, it would bring a great joy to see African people fully represented in all walks of life; in space technology, deep water sciences, innovation and community leadership, and not just in sports.
To every community leader, please teach our young people that they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

I wrote an article about this here, kindly visit to read: https://voiceofpaul.com/why-do-black-people-dominate-the.../

Is Dangote not a black man?

10mobile:
You are talking of government support when government has not even provided the enabling environment for the farmers to support themselves. Most of these unused farmlands were well used before the Buhari Administration started using the Fulani to terrorize farmers. Tinubu is following the footsteps of Buhari as he promised. So, which govt are you expecting to come and support farmers?

So it was under Buhari Fulani herdsmen started attacking farmers and destroying farmlands? You IP0Bdientz are hypocrites

atiku4President:
I like as you are in pain. More, more and more

Who's in pain? all the Igbos who do accuse others of being a tribalist will be no to be found

atiku4President:
This is what heavy taxes being imposed on non-Lagosians in Lagos, especially the business-minded and hard working Easterners, is giving Lagos. Look at the big structures being erected with people's sweat.

And tomorrow they'll come and say non-Lagosians should go? Not possible! non-Lagosians will seat and work in that building and become the Local government Chairman.

A lot of poor and fraustrated people like you will just be wailing unnecessarily

This is a project by a local government chairman

It should have been done months ago by the FG but its not too late sha

[quote author=Niok post=131514398][/quote]The comment made you shed bitter tears when you saw it

I love your tears

Kobojunkieee:
It's been 25 years and about $100 billion dollars down the drain at this point and Nigerians are still without the following basic amenities

■ Electricity
■ Clean Water Supply
■ Sewage
■ Good Roads(roads built by the ancient Romans thousands of years ago are still very much available to this day)
■ Passenger Rail
■ Security
■ Reliable internet and mobile services
■ Waste Management
■ Strong healthcare system
■sturdy educational & training System
■a Welfare/Social system....

Seyi Makinde is one of the many colossal failures of the last 25 years. Let's stop recycling obvious Kakistocrats!

Shey you're not one of obi supporters sha?

President Bola Tinubu has approved the implementation of zero percent import duty and exemption of value-added tax (VAT) on basic food items.

This is according to a letter from the Ministry of Finance to the Nigeria Customs Service seen by BusinessDay.

“This is to confirm that His Excellency, Mr. President has approved the implementation of Zero percent duty rate (0 percent) and Value Added Tax (VAT) exemption on the under-listed basic food items with effect from 15th July, 2024 until the 31st day of December 2024,” the letter read.

The policy is restricted to the items listed in the letter such as maize, millet, rice, wheat , among others, and it is effective from July 15 until December 31 2024.

The letter said this measure is geared towards ameliorating the high cost of food items in the Nigerian market and shall be limited to the national supply gap to be determined by a committee set up by the Minister.

“The importation of these items shall also be limited to investors with milling capacity and verifiable Backward Integration Program for some of the items listed,” the ministry noted.

Other items listed include husked brown rice, grain sorghum, and beans. These items had duty rate levy ranging from 30 percent – 5 percent.

Nice one

IP0Bdientz should be ready to wail till 2031

An irresponsible spending

I'm disappointed he is not going ahead with the bill

Amumaigwe:
How can poultries be shutting down in Oyo while Osun man is the president? Is it that there is no benefit in 'awalokan'? The whole thing is not adding up.

When will you election losers move on from the presidential election defeat?

It's not just in Oyo state alone

Steiner16:
But I heard Dangote Refinery will be rolling out PMS this month, so it should go down at least.

Even if Dangote roll out PMS it won't lead to a massive drop in price except naira gain more value against the dollar

slowice:
Nigeria generated more than 4000MW under buhari. Y'all should supporting these liars

Nigeria was not generating up to 3000 though we have the capacity to do so when Tinubu took over.

yinkus6750:
Which of the anthem ?
Old or new one ?

A person with a functioning brain shouldn't be asking this questions

So far he carry the people of Kenya along and listen to the people like Tinubu, he will be fine

bjdon:
South Africa with less than a quarter of our population is generating over 40000 Megawatts, and this shameless buffon is coming to boast about aiming for 6000MW. Who do us this kind thing?

How many MW is Nigeria generating under Jonathan?
Before the arrival of Adelabu, Nigeria was not generating up to 3500MW

Tokskob2008:
Very true but then just like the other guy said if they aren't focusing on other forms of generating power supply other than the ones we have been recycling since time immemorial then that 6000mw will be a rocket science for them to achieve.

It's a work in progress

Lol I learn't about August break it in Geography, in junior secondary school (middle school).

I told OP to wait till dry season and you asked when last I saw the rain, inferring that you thought the rainy season was over.

It's a bit of a surprise you didn't know about August break till today

But it's nothing to be ashamed of, we learn every day.

Just don't be arrogant especially when you're ignorant because that makes you a fool.

August break you learn about on nairaland few days ago? Abeg rest clown

slimfit1:
A minister that is not focusing on solar farm installations and manufacturing is destination failure just like Fashola. We have sun reserve I don't know why I am saying what we already know.

Nigeria has never generate up to 6000mw, if he can achieve it and maintain it, he's going to be the best minister of power ever.
