Customs to Distribute Seized Food Items to Alleviate Hardship Among Nigerians

In light of the hardship faced by many Nigerians, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) stated it would share food items it seized from importers and smugglers “to the poor and needy”.

The NCS said it would ensure such food items are certified fit for consumption by relevant agencies and made available to ordinary Nigerians nationwide “through equitable distribution in the service areas of operations”.

It said the distribution “will be communicated through NCS formations nationwide, with a firm commitment to transparency, fairness, and public safety.”
