kenben:
This is economic sabotage. Why important fresh fish and salt? Items we should be exporting. Can't Dangote supply diesel at a cheaper cost?

It's done to frustrate of stabilize the prices of goods / food.
This will be cheaper since the government owns it

And so, what's new about that

Is Diesel same as Petrol?

Oludiary:

SArdins,Bulk Salt is allowed long time, its finished salt that is not allowed, Diesel too cos Subsidy is still being paid

DelilahMakinde:
How do you preserve fresh fish on a ship without freezing it ?

It can’t be fresh fish rather frozen fish……..

Calm down bro…. Ships are berthing everyday in Onne discharging containers like no tomorrow….. the port is functional.

I hit the link and no writer at Vanguard takes/took credit for this mischievous article. Sub-par journalism on this one.

Good question

They come in a specially refrigerated containers powered by the ship and when discharged, they're powered at the port of discharge

gboyetade:
Honestly I don't understand this news?

Are they not the usual and regular?

Same here. I was thinking they'll say it's free for all, but instead they said what everyone already know as the regular.

Kewtt:
Reflecting on the food crisis from a year ago, it is clear how the actions of Northern suppliers shaped the market. At that time, many Northern traders intentionally hoarded essential goods, driving the price of beans as high as 180,000. Today, that same quantity has plummeted to 53,000.

Last year, we faced severe shortages of basic staples like onions, tomatoes, and pepper. Northern suppliers boldly claimed they would rather export these products to neighboring countries than sell them locally, forcing the government to step up border policing.

In response to this, the Tinubu administration (Asiwaju) strategically approved food import permits. This move has directly countered the hoarding tactics used by these regional suppliers. Many of them took out significant bank loans to stock up on food, betting on continued scarcity to maximize profits. Now that imported goods are stabilizing the market, those who hoarded are facing bankruptcy—a direct consequence of trying to hold the country's food supply to ransom.

What's the impact of this move on Nigeria's economy and her currency that has almost gone out of value?

There’s nothing on this list we can’t produce locally
Yet they still allow their imports

Hmmm .... we are importing fresh fish....fish caught at sea ... brought to port for processing/processed at sea .... Prepared for export ..transported and loaded on ships ...Heaven kno s from which corner of the Earth... two more days to reach port ...then to be offloaded and send to market. This is the fish this one be calling fresh fish. Some people just need to be stoned. We are importing what we can produce . If nothing else ...I 200% supported Buhari and his heavy restrictions on goods we can produce..

This one will injure one in water. It's large.

DelilahMakinde:

We have been importing fishes for a long time na.
Was there a time that nigeria produce its own fish!

Why is this even news?

DelilahMakinde:

The ship container has a freezer . where the fresh fish is kept and preserve

Things that we supposed to produce here in Nigeria..still importing.. that is why the naira is devaluating and losing value against the dollars

PAPIJAID:
Abeg let them import if that will solve this hyper inflation problem, Buhari tried to let Nigerians produce rice instead of importing but what did we get...abeg import if Nigerians will be able to afford it

The mistake Nigerians make is that they think import substitution is the answer.

Countries do best when they focus resources in areas they have competitive and comparative advantage in. A motivational speaker would state areas that "are your calling."

If you have to place high import duties on a product or even ban it completely before it can be produced, that simply means it's not your calling.

Nigeria has no competitive or comparative advantage in producing the rice the country eats the most. In a place like in Thailand, it is grown as many as 3 times in a year.

The primary cause of hunger is not the lack of man. It is actually the lack of money.

I don't see how making food more expensive helps the poor.

Uuuju:
Can't we produce all those things in our con3?

Ask Obi who wants to be president and shouting that we should produce whereas he is importing. I'm sure his containers are among th3 onea.on the sea. OBI IS A BIG FRAUD. NOT P4ODUCIBG ANYTHING IN NIGERIA.
