The Federal Government has lifted the ban placed on the supply of petroleum products to border communities across the nation.

DAILY POST reported that the Comptroller-General of Customs, on November 6, 2019, directed that no petroleum products, no matter the tank size is permitted to be discharged in any filling station within 20 kilometres to the border.

The directive, DAILY POST learnt, has had many adverse effects on residents of the affected areas as they travelled long distance to buy petroleum products at very exorbitant prices.

According to a circular from the office of the Comptroller General, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Alli, 66 filling stations at various border communities have been granted waivers to lift and supply fuel.

The circular, NCS/ENF/ABJ/058/S.24, dated March 18, was signed by the Comptroller, (Enforcement HQ), Dimka V. D. and sent to concerned Zonal Coordinators, Area Controllers, Comptrollers Marine Comnands in Ogun, Kwara, Katsina, Akwa-Ibom, Kebi, Lagos, Kano/Jigawa, Oyo/Osun, Kebbi, Niger/Kogi, Sokoto/Zamfara and Cross River.

They're no longer worried about fuel smuggling? I just want to know if this is temporary.

NaijaRoyalty:
Enough supply to fulanis in chad and Niger republic

Nigeria is currently been runned by misfits and terrorist sympathizers.

kolaaderin:
shot up, since there is no more subsidy on fuel, there is no need for the ban as fuel will get to them at no expense of Nigerian Subsidy. Its a sign that this government have been at least sincere on on this and the ban can be justified.

God bless you for this. The ignorance of many Nigerians is overly nauseating. They can't even tell when the government gets the policy right or not; all they know how to do is come on Nairaland and post what their little minds tell them.
