Nigeria media and journalists are nonsense................. There has never been a time since the last 16 years that rice is allowed to cross border legally.

This news is mischievous and looking for who to blame.

This was gej's idea and part of the agricultural revolution to boost local production; he did that in fish importation which led to the rice in fish farming during his tenure, just like obj did with poultry and life chicken. But Pmb thought he could sidestep it when he lifted the ban last October. Now he has seen that as a wrong move and he wants to correct himself.
I am looking back to the days when our local farmers had ready market for their produce.

Blame the local rice Millers.

If you watched the Senate sitting on this issue.
U must seen custom on it.

Importing through land borders is
killing their companies which led to lost of jobs and so on..
Seriously? So importing fru Sea port do t kill the local rice industry? When PMB removed the Ban on importation of rice what did you expect?

You can farm and grow rice. You don't have to eat rice imported from Singapore or India. You don't need Basmati or Uncle Ben's

whatever reasons given for the ban is nothing
but pure act of wickedness and non challancy to the plight of nigerians who are living on less than $10 per day. cos the aftermath effect of this is that
civil servants collecting pea nuts as salaries and those of them that has no salaries since months back will now go on hunger sprey. the price of the commodity will rice in the market cos only those useless rich importers will now dictate the price it will go for. imagine they will use all manners of indices like restriction on quota importation, high cost of dollar etc. i weep for this country.NIGERIA.

So why lift the ban in 2015 in the first place? Just to score a point against the previous administration abi? Now they're back like the proverbial dog-eating-vomit to return to status quo!

Madness is in charge of our government now.

hi, i think the question is this: why is it always very expensive to import anything through our nigrrian ports compared to the land boarders even if you decide to pay your dues . the fact rwmainsbthat there ia high level xorruption and racketeering at the sea poerts or why do you think custom officers love to be posted to ports . its simply becausenof ijekuje things. check an avarage custom officers and i will tell you thatthey have so much properties that doesnt correlate with their income.
